I have had several problems with multiple contractors, all of which were successfully resolved via DCCA.
Hiring a lawyer or filing a lawsuit is probably the last resort if DCCA cannot resolve the issue, so why not file a file complaint with DCCA first?

If it is remodeling related, you would use the "Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO Complaint Forms)" in the middle of the following page to report your complaint against the contractor.
https://cca.hawaii.gov/consumer-complaints/
It is a lot of work, gathering documents, explaining the history of the correspondence, etc., but DCCA will take good care of you, so please do your best ！.

Thank you ！ that is very, very helpful ！
I am very encouraged to hear that you yourself had a problem with a contractor and you were able to resolve it
.
How much did the DCCA cost ？
and did you get the renovation money back or did you have to have it redone?
Sorry for all the questions …

The file complaint itself to DCCA is free of charge.
The only cost incurred was postage for the materials produced.
Since the Corona Disaster, they have started accepting complaints online, so there is probably no postage now.

When you file a file complaint, there is a box to write what your preferred resolution is. After submission, DCCA will work to resolve the complaint according to the complainant's wishes, including an investigation.
All the detailed instructions on how to do this can be found at the URL I mentioned.
You should be able to find out specifics by actually reviewing the DCCA form or by emailing or calling the DCCA contact information in the URL.

I think it is as explained by Koji in Topi "Hawaii Safe Travel Program", please refer to the following URL. Regardless of vaccination or GC status, negative proof of PCR test 1 day prior to boarding or （ signed by a doctor ） indicating that you have recovered from COVID19 within 90 days and are able to travel is required.

I would like to add to SJDymmy.

U.S. permanent residents are treated the same as U.S. citizens and can enter the country even if they have not been vaccinated against corona.
The recommendation is self-isolation for 5 days, but it is not mandatory.

I guess it depends on where your standard of happiness is.

For me,
the beautiful ocean is right next to me,
I can get to know pleasant locals,
the climate is stable, and
it suits me.
It is also good that Japanese foods are easily available.
I also enjoy learning about the history of Hawaiians, Nikkei, and immigrants.

Of course, there is a lot to think about in terms of finances.
For now, I try to keep the expenses I keep down to a minimum, and I'm getting by.

However, this is really an individual value, so
just because others are enjoying themselves doesn't mean you have to feel that way, and
conversely, because you are not enjoying yourself, it doesn't mean you should deny others.

and I have written my feelings.
You need not reply to me.
I hope you will find some good solution.

Crawfish

It took me quite a while to get used to life here after I came to Hawaii. Sometimes I still see a lot of things I don't like.

Japan is cheap, convenient, delicious, fun, and has four seasons.

I understand your feelings.

Some cold Japanese are throwing cold words at you, but you can ignore these strange Japanese.
There are a lot of strange Japanese in Hawaii
There are more stupid and shit people
bragging just because they live in Hawaii.
They don't have friends or family in Japan, so they say Hawaii is better than Japan ！ How dare they! They are poor people who have no place to go back to Japan.

Let's leave the stupid cold Japanese alone

They can complain and complain as much as they want.
You are free to say whatever you want. ！


To the scumbags who criticized Crawfish, don't say cold words all the time to people who are complaining about their problems.
You should be warmer ？
You live in Hawaii, so you should be more aloha ！ before you say so, be nice to people!

Dear Crawfish
I moved to Hawaii a long time ago because I was attracted to the good old days in Hawaii. Although I am not attracted to the convenience of Hawaii today, I prefer to live in Hawaii where I can relax even if I am poor and have no time to relax, rather than living in Japan where I feel suffocated. I am happy to return to Japan once in a while to spend time with people I have missed, eat delicious food, soak in hot springs, and return to Hawaii to look forward to my next trip to Japan. I am comfortable living in an environment where I can do what I want to do and try new things without worrying about my age or what people around me think of me. If you are more comfortable living in Japan or Mainland Japan than living here, then go to a place where you feel happy and live there while feeling happy. Let's live in a place where you can feel happy. Ask yourself what you want most right now and how you can be happy. This day will never come back. Let's love and care for yourself the most so that you can live a life with no regrets. It is your own precious life that belongs to no one else.

I used to live in the Mainland too, so I think I know how you feel ！
I have lived in Hawaii for about 10 years or more, and I think that prices will seem less expensive if you make your own money. On the other hand, if you travel to other places, you will start to feel lucky because everything is cheap. They say that if you live in the city, you will be happy, and your happiness will come from yourself, but I think it depends a lot on your interactions with your friends and the people around you. You may not be able to make good friends while you think you don't like many things, but as you enjoy your life and start to be surrounded by good people, I think you will enjoy living in Hawaii.

I agree with Aichan ！
Hawaii seems to be the right place for me and I am living comfortably, but
I wonder how someone can say such mean things to someone who is suffering hard ？.
I think the person writing this must be living an unhappy life with a lot of complaints ？
I can feel the awkwardness so much that it's scary.
I wish they would be so generous as to complain on the internet.

Crawfish, I hope you can find something to ask for.

I haven't been back home for a few years, so this may not be much help. when I returned in 2015, I used a Telecom Square voice SIM, which was cheaper because ANA offered free per day usage. when I checked on the web, I found that a lot has changed in Corona. I checked on the web and it seems to have changed a lot in Corona. Nowadays, there are docomo and Softbank for voice SIM （ that gives you a Japanese mobile number ）, but Softbank seems to be a good choice for short term. Prepaid SIMs sold on Amazon and other places are usually data-only, so unless you use LINE or Skype to make calls, it may be a hassle to call people in Japan. If your current carrier in the U.S. is ATT or Verizon, you may be better off with an overseas roaming plan $ 10/day for a short term. For other SIM rentals in Japan, the following URL may be helpful.

This is before Corona, but one of my family members had a medical checkup for GC application.
I think there might have been a cheaper place if I had looked for it more, but I wanted a place that spoke Japanese, so

I took it at Waikiki Medical Clininc.

Address ： 2222 Kalakaua Ave.#603 Honolulu, HI 96815

Room 603, 6th floor of T Galleria building in Waikiki.

No shots required $ I think it was less than 500.

I had one about 5 years ago …
I called around and the cheapest one I knew of at the time was kuhio walk in medical in Waikiki.
I remember it was about $360.

Maybe the price has changed, or there are cheaper places. There may be other places with lower price.

Um, NIU is also relatively inexpensive for PCR testing, so you might call and ask ！.

If you are choosing based on price, I think the best way to be sure is to call each case one by one and check the current price.
I think the important thing is to get a physical from an Authorized Doctor from USCIS.

You can find the latest list here.

We recommend that you call all the clinics listed on the USCIS website to find out their fees.
The clinics in Waikiki and the ones where Japanese is spoken are very expensive because they include extra x-rays, etc.
The clinic in downtown Waikiki is less than half the price.

According to Q&A dated March 2, 2022 issued by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, paragraph 10 states the following
10 Will children also be required to obtain an inspection certificate?
We ask that children also obtain an inspection certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not have a system of inspection for children of preschool age
, the quarantine service will ask about the individual circumstances of the child, and will ask the parents
who live with the child （ and are generally under 6 years ） of age, if the child is under the care of a person under the care of a parent who enters Japan with the child.
and the caretaker has a
negative test certificate, the child is considered acceptable even if the child does not have a test certificate.

Thank you very much for your very late response.
