I am also very sensitive to sound, but I use regular soft foam. If that doesn't work, have you tried earplugs made of a soft material like clay that fits each ear shape ？ Or how about noise cancelling earphones ？ I like the Apple earplug type 3rd generation. There is a chance they may come off while sleeping, though.

PACIFIC DIAMOND near Ala Moana will buy it, but the price is determined by the weight of the gold, so you should ask for an estimate ？ Even if it is from Tiffany, I think it depends on the rank of the diamond, but they will do the evaluation for free, so if you have a warranty card, you should bring it with you. If you have a warranty card, I think it would be a good idea to bring it along.

I have never had an estimate in Hawaii, but
when I went to Japan in January,
I brought it to a buy-back specialist at the mall.

I had outdated rings, one earring, and a worn out Vuitton wallet.
I asked them to quote me 20,000 yen for a piece of sushi.
I was surprised to find that it was 150,000 yen.
There was also a sapphire scrap stone in it, but the price of gold was high.

Mr. LOVE
I used hospitality to mean in everyday life.
I don't mean in restaurants.

I often receive kindness from people,
so I try to give it to the next person
whenever I get a chance.
If I keep that in mind in my life, there is nothing to worry about.
Living on an island is not bad.

Hospitality in Hawaii is
good, as it is the state of tourism.

I always give back to the community what I receive.

If you are kind to someone, you should be kind to the next person
in return.

To place a tip, it depends on the service whether you want to place it or not.

I used to get the worst service in Chixiken, so I tipped for the first time
When I didn't leave a tip, they came after me and I thought I had forgotten something, but it was because I didn't leave a tip.
I can't recommend them to anyone anymore.

Don't be too concerned about whether or not to leave a tip
, but at least leave a tip since you used the restaurant.
If the service was not up to par,
it would be good for the restaurant if you could say a few words before you leave
.
Well, if there is room for improvement.
If there is no improvement, the store will naturally disappear.

Tipping, if you pay it, is limited to 5%. It is like begging to rely on that.
Who do you think you are, that you are so happy to pay tips?

You have to wait until you are a citizen to be a topical sponsor.

You won't be able to sponsor.

I think everyone's time to get it is different, even before and after Corona.

Even to get a green card for marriage, everyone's background and husband is different, so some people take more than a year and some people did not.

2 years is a temporary card.
It seems that the 2 year temporary was created because there are too many such purposes.
I heard that a few decades ago, you could receive permanent residence from the beginning without the 2-year temporary.

It is impossible for your child to get a 2 year provisional green card.
The 2 years is only provisional, not a real green card, and it takes 1 year to apply for a real green card after 2 years, and then after you receive the real green card, you can start applying for your child's green card, so you should allow 4 years for your child to get a green card!
My in-laws are very kind. My sister-in-law applied for the same thing in 2015 and it took 4.5 years.

Dear Koji
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have read the URL you provided, but since I live in a condo and not in a house, there is no soil in the space I own. Would it be a violation to vent in a public place such as a beach or park ？?

As for violations, I have no idea, but
if you're in a park or on the beach with no one around and no fire, I don't think it's a safety issue. If it were me, I would think that I might sneak out and vent on my lanai but good ventilation is a prerequisite. Then there is the relationship with the neighbors.
Or maybe I'll just lurk on the street in front of my apartment.

Also, there are some collection services, but I don't think it's necessary to go this far with household gas cylinders ～ ？.

As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US ）),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.

Supplement.
I wrote that I entered the country in October 2018, applied for a green card with Adjustment of Status from ESTA in November 2018, and received my green card in the mail shortly after my couple interview in July 2019 at the Honolulu office of USCIS downtown, but I remember I remembered that I received instructions for fingerprinting in December 2018, so I made an appointment in January 2019 and had my photo taken and fingerprints taken at the Honolulu office of USCIS. The photo and fingerprints taken at that time were used on my green card.

First of all, Mr. HALE has already completed your application ？
Do you know which documents you submitted and all the document names ？ Do you keep copies of the documents you submitted ？
#9, Koji wrote "I- 131, Application for Travel Document, and you cannot leave the U.S. until the authorization document is returned to you.

"What should I do next ？?" but if you have submitted the documents and USCIS has received them, then you will have to wait.
In my case, after mailing the documents, I just had to wait for instructions.
If USCIS has received the documents, I think the next step is to have your fingerprints taken and a photo taken, as long as the documents are complete and everything goes smoothly.

Six years ago, my husband submitted his paperwork by mail. We mailed them with a check for the application fee.
If the check has been cashed and debited from the bank, then I believe the documents have been received by USCIS and the review process has begun.

I applied in 2018 so at that time there was no online submission option and I submitted my documents by mail.
Mr. hale did you file online ？ did you file by mail ？
https://www.uscis.gov/i-130
If you did online filing, you can check your case status. If you filed online, it says you can check your case status online, so you can check the status of your application yourself.

The estimated processing times for the I-130 are available on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

There is also a website where those who have filed green card applications with USCIS report their progress.

Same time as Mr. Hale, April 2024. Some have already received instructions for biometrics appointment （ photography and fingerprinting ） after filing I-130 and I-485 in April 2024 at the same time as Mr. Hale.

I have been living in California, USA for about 8 years
My F-1 visa has expired, I only have a valid I-20, but I rarely go to school
I have an I-20, so it is legal I am getting married to a Japanese permanent resident
Is there any problem if I register the marriage at the consulate? ？

Congratulations on your marriage.

＞ It is legal because you have an I-20
It is up to USCIS, a law enforcement agency, to decide whether it is legal or not, so I think you should not make an easy decision yourself.

＞ Is there any problem if I register my marriage at the consulate ？
Why don't you call the consulate in Japan and inquire about it ？
In the first place, diplomatic missions abroad are set up to support Japanese nationals living abroad. In the first place, Japanese consulates and consulates abroad are set up to support Japanese people living abroad.
When I first started living in the U.S., I had a lot of problems and things I didn't understand. I called the Honolulu Consulate and explained the situation, and they gave me valuable advice every time.

＞ And can I get my permanent residence right away ？
Why don't you ask USCIS how long it takes to get permanent residence?
In your case, your spouse, a Japanese permanent resident, will be your "sponsor" to apply for your permanent resident status.
In my case, my husband, who is a US citizen, sponsored my application for permanent residence.
My sponsor husband called USCIS and explained my situation at the time, and the person who answered the phone carefully explained all the necessary documents ・ and procedures.
I submitted the documents as instructed by USCIS and successfully obtained my green card.
Since your prospective marriage partner will be your "sponsor", I think the ideal procedure would be for your prospective marriage partner to contact USCIS and assist Ms. Minty in obtaining permanent residence.

#12,

You can look up the Processing Time for the I-130 on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
Form is I-130 and Form Category is Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21.

Also, according to the following site, it may take 4-5 years to receive I-130 in some cases.

Hello.
There are many people in the U.S. who are over 65 years old and working while receiving Social Security
.
Unlike Japan, we don't put your date of birth and age on your resume, so
I think it is special if you look young.
If you are beautiful, young, clean and witty, you will be hired.
The average life expectancy of a woman is approximately 90 years, so not working for 30 years
would be a good idea to contribute to society to prevent becoming a boor.

About a third of the information magazines in the free press are realtors over 60.
