I have a question for a sole proprietor.
Do you have an accountant you would recommend ?
H&I would like to ask you something other than R.
808 Tax was recommended by someone I know, what do you think ? Please let me know, even if you are English speaking.
Thank you very much.

Hi 🐶
I have a question for dog owners, I am looking for a good hospital that is conscientious and friendly for a reasonable price, but it is hard to find one. I would like to avoid a hospital where I can just take my dog and not know what they are doing. I would appreciate it if you could speak Japanese if possible, but I have been to such a hospital but did not have a very good impression. I would appreciate it if you could comment on this.
Currently our boy is totally healthy, but we are looking for someone who can take care of him if he suddenly gets sick ☺ ️.

Kaimuki Animal clinic is recommended. Some days there are doctors who can speak Japanese. They are very good at surgery when the need arises. We have many dogs, and we are always grateful for their help.
I live nearby and can volunteer to interpret for you if necessary.

I don't have permanent residency, but my Hawaii driver's license is expiring next month.
Are these 4 items sufficient? I can't understand very, very much online.
I have real estate in Hawaii and I am licensed in Hawaii. I was able to book the appointment online, but if they say I need more paperwork
I don't have time, I'm going home next month. I have a starred ID and it was difficult to get it. I don't want a starred ID
I am over 70 years old and this will be my last renewal.
Please let me know.

Just recently someone I know received a non-starred license for 8 years as a transfer from a Japanese license. He entered on an esta, owns real estate in Hawaii, and submitted the following documents: Japanese driver's license, driver's license background check (in Japanese and English, not sure of the name) to the consulate, I-94, electric bill, and a bank statement that was mailed to him.
I was surprised that someone who can only stay in Esta for 90 days can get a license valid for 8 years, while I, an E visa holder, can only get a license valid until the expiration of the stay permit on my I-94. The immigration lawyer told me that I could enter the U.S. and leave for even one day to a foreign country other than Canada before the 90th day and return again, and that there is no limit, so I could repeat that during the year !. This was also a surprise.

I went there. I had collected various papers and brought them with me, but I had to go to the main office and ask for the Social Security number, because they don't have it here. I went to the main office and called them and they told me that it was no problem even if I didn't have a social security card. I will go to the main office in Waianae this week to make an appointment.
Thank you very much for your detailed information. I feel relieved.

Zara, thank you for the addendum.

I am glad to hear that you were not able to renew this time, but it seems possible before you return home at the main office. Waianae, it is a bit far, but please go there to enjoy the scenery.

I think there are some cases that cannot be done if it is a satellite office, so
you may have to call before you go there to confirm if it is a special case.
I think it will be helpful for those who will try next time.

I went to Wai'anae yesterday and was able to get an appointment right away and renew my driver's license without the star
It was valid for 4 years, all I needed was my passport and Hawaii license, everyone was very unfriendly and I had a bad experience, if you have the star you have to go to the social security office and go through the process to get it replaced. I am glad I was able to renew before it expired, the west is unique, there were homeless people all along the overseas.

I am glad to hear that you were able to renew your license successfully.

I would say that Waianae has its own culture, or it may be cold if you are new to someone from somewhere else. Maybe I got a sense of that. I think there are many people who are nice once you get to know them. Also, I think the homeless camps reflect the current situation in Hawaii.
Some people come here to be homeless on a one-way ticket from the mainland, others are homeless because they don't have a job locally, etc.
I think the circumstances are different.

What happens if I want to move even though I am under contract ? Does it depend on the contract ?
Please help me understand.

It depends on the contract. Like you have to pay for the rest of the term
In that case, if you can find yourself the next person to come in and get them to come in right after you leave, it's okay. If it's a military family or something, they can be transferred, so they can terminate the contract even in the middle of the contract. Anyway, it depends on what the contract says.
If you have to move out due to unforeseen circumstances, or if you have to move out due to unforeseen circumstances, you can talk to the landlord or management office
and see if they can help you.

Nice to meet you
I am a mom of a 1 year old girl.
I'm starting to get nervous because people around me are starting to look for preschools for 3 year olds and putting their names on the wait list.
I've started researching and think that Cole Academy downtown looks like a good preschool, but I was wondering if anyone who has attended or graduated from the school can tell me about the school, the education, and if any of the students have gone on to apply to Punahou or Iolani after graduation. I am also interested in Queen Emma, but it is listed as full time 7:00-5:00, so I wonder if it is possible to pick her up around 3:00 or something. Please let me know if you have any information.
Thank you.

Casual Employment ( If you prefer part-time work ) as we call it in Japan, we recommend that you contact the school office of the school of your choice directly.
If you want to be a full-time state employee, it will take some time, but you can apply on the DOE website when applications come up.

Please let me know if you have married a US citizen while in the US and have applied for a green card.

① Time from application to acquisition.
② Time from application to work permit
③ Time from application to entry permit
⓸Actually, those who have used an entry permit to return temporarily while applying for a green card and were able to enter the US safely or not? .

You do not have to answer all of them.

I also applied for a green card while in the US, but I did not "marry and apply while in the US", so I think the case is different from GC's case.

I think this online forum is a good reference for the situation of other people who applied within the US.
https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/134-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-case-filing-and-progress-reports/
The situation of others was very detailed at the time. I felt that it was a case-by-case basis as to when I could get a green card, as it depended greatly on how crowded the office where I applied was, and also on individual circumstances.

By the way, regarding #4, I used Advance Parole once, but I think the question was asked in a separate room. It was after about 2 weeks in Japan.

I am sure the process will be uneventful, but please don't spend too much time stressing over the processing time, which is the only thing the applicant cannot control.

I live in Japan and would like to bring back food from Japan.
I think there are restrictions on meat
so I would like to bring back sashimi or something that I can eat right away.
I have never done this before, so I would appreciate it if someone with experience could tell me how they did it.
Do you freeze it or
is it hand luggage, etc.? I will bring frozen, but
regular too, etc.
I have had my luggage confiscated many times
and I would like to avoid confiscation.
Thank you very much.

I will be freezing frozen sea urchins, etc. and putting them in a cooler bag, but it will be about 12:00 or so before I get on the plane
As for baggage, I think some water will be released when the food melts, but will it be possible to take it in baggage?

Take it to the airport with the frozen stuff and the refrigerant
I think the refrigerant is treated as liquid, so throw it away at the airport. Then just the frozen stuff will be fine. It will last until Hawaii. You can try everything.

I know that water droplets can form, but when I bring frozen food
I wrap it in a thin towel or hand towel and put it in a Ziploc bag.
The bag is not that big, but it is not that big
and I pack the frozen items very tightly in it, so they will stay
frozen until I get to Hawaii.

I have brought frozen tuna marinated in miso many times.
The store sold it frozen, so the refrigerant and bag were from the store.
I went to buy it on the morning of departure and brought it back to Hawaii. The coolant was gel
so I don't think it was liquid, but I think there was a little bit of water that had melted from the frozen stuff.
Of course the tuna was completely thawed, but it was marinated in miso so it was delicious.

Thank you all
I was able to bring it in safely. I know they sell them in Hawaii, but I still wanted to feed my family a lot of delicious food for the same price, so I brought them in.
I froze them and put refrigerant in them, and the large foam steel was too high, so I used towels and a cold bag.
It wasn't as ticklish when it arrived, but it was still frozen. I would like to use that method in the future.

My current rice cooker from Cosco ( Zojirushi ) does not keep the rice warm at all and the rice on the cooker starts to get hard when kept in the safe.

I am now thinking of buying a better Japanese quality rice cooker.

What brand and model do you recommend?

I use the two above depending on the amount of rice I eat and the number of people, but both have a solid inner pot and cook delicious rice. I bought the larger one at Donki and the smaller one at The Compleat Kitchen during a sale at Kahala Mall.

Marukai also has a variety of good rice cookers.
