I am married to an American man
husband is military, PCS and he is in Hawaii first
we will be married 2 years next January,
considering whether to get a visa in less than 2 years or wait until January
husband contacted immigration
in US He was told that he could apply for a VISA from
I was told that the conditions are that I must apply for the visa from Hawaii and my stay must be 60 days and I cannot leave Hawaii during the application period
Is this true ?

If so, how did you guys get the criminal history certificate

I was told how to get a criminal history certificate at the Japanese consulate.
It was a long time ago and I don't remember which department, but I think they can tell you if you inquire.
I remember that when I ordered it, I was told that it could take up to 2 months if it was busy.

It's not that I can't leave Hawaii, but I can't leave the US.
I don't think I can return home for about 2 years.

You can apply from Hawaii, but if you are entering the country as a tourist, you may be in trouble if your reason for entering the country is false.
I have heard that military personnel can get a VISA through the military earlier than usual, so I can't say for sure, but if you expect to wait more than 6 months between the time you apply and the time you get your VISA, you don't have to wait until January. ☺ By the way, I applied for a 10 year green card right after I got married because of the Corona disaster, but it took me 2 years to get it, so I got a 10 year green card from the beginning.

Kan, it depends on the immigration officer who does it. Sometimes they issue a conditional one because it's still less than 2 years old administratively on the date you apply, and sometimes they issue a 10 year one because
okay, fine. So saying it will take a long time to get it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a 10-year one. This is all luck.
