MRI's are more open now I think.
I don't know what the purpose of the MRI is, but if you let them know that you are claustrophobic at the beginning, they should be able to assign you an appointment at a location with an open MRI.

thanks for the information ！
now it's more open type ！
I am relieved.
I have to have an MRI for a brain scan, but I'm a little relieved because I'm scared to even think about it because I had an MRI in a dome type at the Queens emerger three years ago and it was interrupted just by the MRI going in.

Searching for Where was your immigrant visa or adjustment of status issued?
I found a variety.

But still, it's not a helpdesk at all, is it now ～ not a helpdesk at all?

Thanks for the link ！ It took me a long time to read this site, but I think I found the answer somehow 😓 and can proceed with the procedure. It was a bit difficult to find out if it is possible that the town where I applied is not necessarily the place where it was issued (some towns don't have an office ？), and I had to do a lot of other research, but at least my case was solved this time.

The USCIS help desk is automated, so I could not get the answers I wanted at all, and when I asked to speak to the help desk, I was cut off without question, which is a very difficult system to talk to a human. When I thought I somehow managed to talk to a human help desk person, I ended up not getting any help, so I am glad I was able to get your help here. Thank you, Koji, for your help.

Have you checked the topic "Visa Related" in this exchange square? It has stories of people who have hired lawyers and people who have done it themselves. In my case （ a long time ago ） I did it myself and I think I did it online with no problems. However, since it is a corona disaster, I think you should apply for it as soon as you get 6 months notice.

It is difficult to go into all the details of the renewal process on a message board, but ・ ・ ・
In general, create an account with USICIS （ If you already have an account, log in ） and most of the process is done online.
You then go to the USICIS Hawaii office to complete biometrics （ fingerprinting ・ and registration ）.
Once that is done, a new Green Card will be issued.

I renewed mine in 2019 and it took a little over a month.
It will take longer under the current circumstances.
Renewal fee was $ 540 at the time.

It's basically a procedure you can do yourself and I did it myself, but if you are not good at English, it might be safer to ask someone to do it for you.
As the person above said, it is better to start six months before Expire.

If you do it yourself, a Google search will bring up companies that look like an Official site, but are agents that charge extra fees for the information you put in.
My friend got caught up in this and had to cancel the order after realizing it was too much work.
In addition, you have to be careful not to provide your SSN and other information to these fraudulent companies.

This is official.
Be sure to check that this is the USCIS.gov site.

From what I see on Google Maps, it looks like the uptown area of Aina Haina.
The transportation from there to Waikiki would be by private car, scooter, or bus, and walking or biking would be difficult.
The answer will depend on which mode of transportation you use, whether you are staying for a short or long period of time, and your homestay situation.
I imagine that buses will be the way to get around, at least as soon as you arrive, but
bus routes and boarding times will vary depending on the time of day and the bus stop you board.
I suggest you check with Google Maps.

By the way, it is quite difficult to find a parking space in Waikiki.

I used to live nearby.
You can't take the bus to the center of Waikiki, it would be about 40 minutes with transfers ？
If you drive, it is within 30 minutes without traffic.
If the school is at KCC or UH, you can take bus 24 and get there in one bus.
However, there is only one bus every hour.

There is a shopping center about 1 km away.
The area around my house is relatively safe, but you can't walk alone after sunset.

If it has been 6 months since your second vaccination, you can be vaccinated in Japan.
Please make an appointment through the website and bring your passport and vaccination card.

However, if you become ill after the vaccination, you will have to pay for your own medical expenses.

Hello. I live in Hawaii.
I use a frequent flyer credit card
I recommended it to a friend, but she was rejected
because she had been working for 1 year.
It is possible that I still can't get it if I have been working for 3 months.

Is Hawaii a hurdle ？
I moved to Hawaii from California and already in my California days （ I made a credit card four years ago when I immigrated to the US ） and I could make a bank credit card right away. It didn't matter how much money I had in the bank or anything, as soon as I opened my account （ on the second day of immigration ） and told them that I wanted to get a credit card because I would need my score, I got one right away. It only works from about $500 at first, though. I was in the U.S., so it is not a Hawaiian bank, but just for your information, I am not sure if it is ANA America or JAL America. When I was in California, I heard from my seniors that all Japanese people started with the credit cards of the two airlines or the secure card of the bank. I think ANA and LAL might be better because you can get customer service in Japanese.

Capital one is often used to build credit history for the first time.
The app makes it easy to make payments, and you will always be notified by email when your card is used, so it is very secure and prevents fraudulent use. You will build a good credit history if you continue to use the card within 30% of your credit limit.
Although the initial limit is low, this card has no limit on the number of payments per month, so try to use it while making frequent payments.

I currently have a credit score of 830.
Here are the recommended steps.

First, decide on a main bank and make a Secure Card there.
Secure Card is a credit card where the amount deposited = the limit.
Then, after some time has passed, （ you can make a credit card with no annual fee for about half a year ？ ） and then you can make another credit card with no annual fee.
After some time from there, make another credit card of your choice, and another one with your choice of service and mileage accrual.
Then, when your score grows some, buy a car on lease or loan.

The key to increasing your credit score is
1 ） length of history
2 ） amount spent against credit limit
3 ） no late payments
・ ・ ・.
This combined factor determines your credit score.

To maintain the length of your history, be prepared to keep the Secure Card and the first no annual fee card you make.
History is very important.
You need to use the no annual fee credit card occasionally even after you have made other credit cards because it will be cancelled if you don't have a good usage record.
Whether the credit card has a paid or free annual fee, the effect on the score is the same.
However, the rank of the credit card you can make depends greatly on how good or bad your score is.

By the way, it is considered good that the monthly usage should not exceed 30% of the credit limit.
In order to keep this spending amount within 30%, you should make several credit cards after going through the Secure Card → no annual fee credit card stage
and increase your credit limit itself.
If you must exceed 30% by purchasing airline tickets, etc. while the limit is low,
contact the credit card company and ask for a temporary increase in the limit or deposit money into your Secure Card to increase the limit.

If you cancel your credit card, your score may drop significantly if the credit card has a large limit.
It is better not to cancel the credit card.

By the way, when you apply for a new credit card, it is safe to wait about 6 months after your last new application.
When you apply for a credit card, the credit card company checks your score, and
the frequency and type of checks can lower your score.

Retail credit cards like Nordstrom and Macy's are not recommended if you want to
get a good score over 800 quickly.
If you really want to get a discount or something, limit yourself to one credit card and pay it off immediately after use.

If you take out a loan for a car or something other than a credit card, your score will increase even more.
Since your credit score determines the financial institutions and interest rates for loans, it is best to wait until your credit score has increased to a certain level.
You will not be able to get a loan with good terms until you are at least in the mid 600s.
By continuing to make good repayments on this loan, your score will increase even more than if you were using credit cards alone.
So even if you can buy a car with cash, it is recommended if you want to buy a house with a mortgage in the future.

To monitor the growth of your credit score, we recommend that you register with Credit Karma and check your credit score regularly.
This is a free service and checking here will not negatively affect your score.
They will also introduce you to credit cards that you are more likely to apply for based on your score.
It is essential to check which cards are easier to be approved for, especially when you make a no annual fee credit card from Secure Card.

Many Japanese people will go for lump sum cash payments for everything, but unfortunately that will not increase your credit score.
A high credit score is a good thing.
When you get married, your partner's score will affect you as well. I know a business owner who decided not to get married because the partner he wanted to marry had a low score.
It depends on the individual, but credit scores are very important when living in the US.
Good luck ！

Thank you all for your time and comments.
Dear pacifist, a friend also recommended Capital one, I will consider it.
Dear lonsdale, Thank you for the detailed explanation. It was very helpful.
I will now proceed with the purchase of a car and home based on your advice.

I've been wondering about this one great too, but I haven't gotten any response.
I guess all of you are rich people who don't care how much PCR is 😅
I am going to Japan next month and I would like to find out if it is possible with cheap or free PCR until the last minute.
I hope you will find a better way, ZARA.
