I would like to know if anyone knows anything about this. If anyone has information on food assistance, such as food banks in Hawaii or associations that distribute food, or distribution dates, please let me know the information. Thank you in advance.

The First Baptist Church of Honolulu at the corner of Pikoi St and Kinau St distributes food on weekday mornings. I don't know what day of the week it is, but I see people lining up on Pikoi St around 9am every weekday.

There is also a food distribution at Boys&Girls on the grounds of Washington Middle School. We were helped a lot by this food distribution during the lockdown last year.

Foodpantry is not very good, to be honest.
The food they give me is different depending on the time, but they really help me out.
Recently, I received 30 eggs, though they were small in size.
Sometimes there are already damaged or very old ones in the package, so it is better to check well before eating.

There are walk-in restaurants where you can go without reservation, and others where you have to register in advance.

Walk-in locations usually have a large number of Chinese people. Please be careful, as many Chinese have bad manners, such as interrupting the queue.

Olivet Baptist Church will be having it this Saturday, the 18th, from 8:00 am to 11:00 am!

Usually the last Saturday of the week, but in December, it is this Saturday because of Christmas and the end of the year.

Please find the address.

I have a person who entered Japan under ESTA, married a local, and has not yet applied for a Green Card even though it has been more than a year. ？

However, until the green card is issued, you cannot leave the U.S. because you are in the U.S. illegally.

It is not illegal to enter the country on a tourist visa and apply for a marriage green card, but
I have heard that it is a practice that the immigration authorities do not like.
I know someone who got a green card that way, and he said it took 8 years.
He said it would have taken a year or two if he had gone the right way, and he wished he hadn't cheated. Of course, he couldn't leave the U.S. until he got his visa.
I guess if you leave, you can't come back in because you overstayed.

My husband has an acquaintance who married a Mexican woman and she overstayed once
and it took her 7 or 8 years to get her visa
last year.

However, since you say you know someone who still has not applied for a green card,
I think it is different from these. I think the rough way to look at it is that even if they did apply, they would probably be rejected.
You are overstayed from the very beginning of your application, and the worst that can happen is deportation. ？
In any case, if you cheat, you will be in a lot of trouble.

Even if you overstay, you will not be deported if you get a commitment to marry an American. Of course, you will have to pay for legal defense, etc. I think the person who took 8 years to get off is a special case. Long time overstayers have gotten green cards within a few years of marriage.

We are looking to make a down payment and buy a condo with the money we have saved over the years as a couple.
Our choice is a 2BR in Arua Waikiki.
So, if you live in Arua or are familiar with Arua, could you please tell me ？

Which would you recommend in Unit 01, 02, 03 and 04 ？

Also, other than those, 05, 06, etc.
Which unit is the best for you ？

Thank you very much.

We used to live in Arua.
When we bought, there were not many units for sale and we didn't have much to choose from, but it was unit 01.
We had to take a long detour to get from the living room to the master bedroom, and since our children were small, it was very cramped and hard to keep an eye on them.
The rooms are like a maze.
My friend lives in #09, the lot size is small, but it felt spacious.
Since no two floor plans are the same on one floor,
If you can tell us about the view, the layout, and what you want to focus on, we can give you more advice.

Dear Landlord. Thank you for your advice. We also thought that 01 would be good. Or 04.
We are not sure about 09 because it seems to be too hot in the west. The view is not important. The layout is bedrooms on both sides of the living room. Where we want to put emphasis is on rooms that don't get too much sooty dust from the cars in Kalakaua, and we would like rooms that don't get the west sun.
02 and 03 have one living room opening, but I wonder if the rooms are dark ？
01 has two windows, bright and seems ideal.
I would like to see the apartment, but there are not many for sale at the moment, and I would be
grateful for your advice.

I am planning to start fertility treatment and am considering medical insurance. I had fertility treatment before Corona, but was unable to have children, so I would like to have IVF this time.
If you can recommend a plan for HMSA if we plan to do fertility treatment including IVF, please let us know.

I have an HMSA PPO and it was covered by my insurance.
The description on the HMSA website also says that it is covered by HMO and PPO, so I think it is a misunderstanding that it is not covered by PPO.

Have you already decided where you would like to be treated and have you chosen a potential clinic ？?
You may want to ask for a consultation with the clinic first to get insurance and detailed plan recommendations.

Last month, an acquaintance came from Japan.
I went to many restaurants with my Japanese vaccine certificate.
We went to Chinatown, Waikiki, Kaimuki area, Pearlidge, Kahala,
and many other places.
They wanted to know the date of the second vaccination and the manufacturer of the vaccine, and although there was some English notation, the paper size was different from Hawaii's.
Some of them were confused for a moment. But when I explained it to them, they were OK everywhere.
Not only restaurants, but also leisure facilities and tourist facilities required the presentation of a vaccine passport, but we were able to enter with a Japanese A4 size certificate.

I was told to contact CCH if I need help with rent for December, but they said they can't do it because they don't have the funds. I am working shortened hours and am in a difficult situation.　I applied for EBB for utility assistance and was able to get help, but the phone company did not respond properly and it expired. I had a payment plan set up and have been paying it little by little, but they are adding late charges every month.

I am in trouble because the mutant shares of Corona are going to make it even more difficult for me financially. Can you please let me know if there is any state or Federal assistance available?

I guess I've been lucky so far. It must have been a miracle that there were so many jobs in Hawaii if you could speak some English. Living abroad means that this kind of hardship is necessary and normal. I guess the question is how to live in this situation. I guess it is time to think about the next development rather than waiting forever for tourism to resume.

The coronas will not end because of a conspiracy by American drug companies ｡

All new coronas are viruses made from humans to make money.

So just when we are about to be cured, there will be another new virus ｡

and each time a vaccine has already been made in advance ｡

today President Biden said don't panic, American citizens are fine. ｡

It will last until 2024.

If this is true, it is the same thing as the 911 attacks that were made to look like a conspiracy by American life insurance companies

Are we Japanese safe to live in the US?

Don't tell me that Corona was also caused by Rothschild?

I am having trouble providing "proof that we met within 2 years".
We have both decided to get married, and the timing will depend on how the visa progresses, but
is there anything we can do?

Thank you for your reply ！
Yes, I will have to put everything I can produce as evidence ！
I definitely plan to get that part right, as I would not dare lie to the government, lol.
I didn't think of the brochure ！ Thanks for the idea.
It took you a year. ？
Also, sorry to change the subject, but I was surprised to find out that it costs 30,000 yen to make an appointment at a local hospital that handles negative certificates for Corona travel to the US.
I am planning to go to Haneda → Honolulu, will they do a PCR test when I connect ？
I am sorry, I don't know anything and I am confused.
If you know, I would like to know.

The best way to find out if you can travel back and forth between the US and Japan while applying for a fiancée visa is to ask the lawyer who filed the application.
It seems that you can travel back and forth now, but not when I applied. So I guess there are a lot of cases on blogs and forums. The law is changing all the time, so ask your lawyer.
Also, you mentioned pictures, but my friend had a digital camera set up so that the date and time would be included in the picture, since the phone wouldn't include the date and time.
