Experience.
I waited over 2 years ！ I couldn't believe it ！
I had to go renew my drivers license every year for 2 years because my green card was expired … It was really hard.

If you call USCIS and say Lost number, it should connect you to a person in charge. My friend got connected right away, but I had to call several times before I finally got through. After explaining the situation, they will start the process of renewing your renewal acceptance letter again. You will be contacted by a representative in a few weeks to a month … I believe it was via email.
Go to the office around Kakaako on the day of your appointment and they will stamp your passport for renewal on the spot.

In my case, I received my green card just in time for the renewal date.

I don't know if it will connect since it was a few years ago, but please try it once and I wish you a speedy delivery of your green card ！

I work at the school my child attends.

I worked in the tourism industry until I gave birth, but left after the birth to raise my child as a stay-at-home mom. I started looking for a job when my child started kinder. Working at a school is very easy for me while raising my child because I can take weekends, holidays, and spring, summer, fall, and winter off.

Until my kids went to pre, I worked from home plus nights. I had a sales job that allowed me to work short hours after my husband, who worked full time, came home. It was a time when I didn't have the luxury of being too choosy about what I did.

After I was able to send my child to pre, I was able to get a job that I wanted to do and that allowed me to utilize my skills. Although the working environment is client-driven, I feel very secure in my mentality while raising my children. Good luck ！

If you don't mind my asking, I would like to ask what kind of work you do at the school. If it is a public school, did you find the position on the DOE website and apply for it? ？ I have called the school directly and was told that they could not help me and that I would have to apply for the position if it was available.

If the school you are interested in is hiring, you can apply on their website with your name, address, educational background, and work experience. After that, I was contacted directly by the school for an interview by phone and email. （ I also received a letter from DOE accepting my application. ） After interviewing with the principal and his office, I was informed about the background check and TB test, and then I had to complete all those procedures and wait for the school to contact me again.

The renter has to be careful.
If you are renting for a week or a short term,
but even more so if you are renting for several months.

After all, renting from a real estate agency with a local company is
the safest way.

Especially if the apartment is furnished and broken. Especially if you consider the case that the apartment is furnished and broken.

It is also common in Hawaii to find evidence that the owner has entered the apartment while the tenant is away.

I'm looking for a place to rent through Vivinavi, but I can't seem to find it. I guess it's not possible for one month short term. 。。。。。
I have no choice but to go into Craigslist and make some inquiries, but after several contacts, the properties are already closed. My emails have also bounced back.
I hear you can't count on it, but you have to be careful...
The owner of a property I rented for 5 years in Hawaii Kai had to go into my rented room every time I went to Japan and was away.
This property was let out by a Japanese woman on behalf of the owner who could not speak Japanese.

Depending on the budget, there is an AirB ＆ B in downtown for ＄ 110 ＋ Tax per night.

Even if you find a property on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, I think
you should be fine as long as you get a proper showing and meet the owner ？ before you decide to move in.
We are on the renting side, but on the other hand, there are some suspicious prospective tenants who have not had showings and
sometimes inquire from off-island locations, such as the mainland, to decide to move in!

In Honolulu, especially in Waikiki, there are very few lenders for people who want to live in Honolulu, and there is an imbalance between the number of people who want to live in Honolulu and the number of people who rent. Therefore, the rent is going up and up.
Also, as you know, Waikiki is a hotel complex, so condominiums built in between the hotels are especially popular. Kalakaua AVE and Royal Hawaiian AVE are the center of the city, and as you move away from them, rents become a little cheaper.

Honey bee, I think it would be a good idea to describe your internet usage.
The speed you need will depend on how many people are using it, whether you do streaming, etc.

By the way, I am in an old apartment in the McCully area, so I don't have access to HT's blazing fast connection, 50 Mbps (about 20 Mbps actual), but it is fast enough for watching YouTube by myself.
The price would be $ 70 or so for the regular service, but when I told them that Spectrum's service with the same speed was $ 25, they discounted it to $ 30.

We switched to T-mobile internet this year. We used to use Spectrum or Hawaiian Telcom internet, but both of these companies become expensive after the 2 year promotion period, but T-mobile has ＄ 40 ～ ＄ 50 with no extra fee. It seems like this price is still the same after all these years. We consistently get 200Mbps speeds at home. Other than that, the best thing about T-mobile is that I can set it up myself without having to call a technician to set it up. I can take it home and set it up and try it out for 15 days to test speeds, etc.

I have been using HT for almost 20 years. Formerly in Makiki and now in Ala Moana.HT has a lot of problems to say the least. When my neighbors get up in the morning or come home from work and everyone else is using the internet, it cuts out quite frequently （, stays offline for 30 minutes at worst, or mumbles finely about 30 times an hour ）, and the speed becomes extremely slow and unusable. So last year, I asked them to increase my Mbps, but the person in charge did not show up at the appointed time, so I made a new appointment, but that day also ended up with no show. During that time, I had no internet for about two weeks, which was really inconvenient for me because it interfered with my work. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that an acquaintance's father had worked for HT for a long time, but switched to Spectrum right after he retired because he still had many problems with the internet. However, the good thing about HT is that the price is negotiable, so you can get a much lower price ？. 566>" and they will give you a surprisingly low price. If you still feel that the price is too high, they have a loyalty ・ discount, which allows you to get a further discount under the authority of the person answering the phone, so if you push again, they will give you an even lower price.

Hawaii has the best climate.

If you have children, the level of education in Japan or Irvine, California is
much higher, so if you move to Hawaii, you will have to learn
what you learned 3-4 years ago, so even if you switch to private school, Hawaii is inferior to Japan or Irvine.

Hawaii's high cost of living is a challenge, but for couples with the financial means,
it's a wonderful place to live, and the climate is hard to beat.

Hawaii is not safe.
Women do not walk alone at night. I think they should use a car.

I think life in Japan is easy
because prices and salaries have not changed much in 30 years, but hundreds of people die from heat stroke every year
it is not comfortable.

Some people who can afford to retire
live in both Japan and Hawaii.

Japan has no future due to the declining birthrate and depopulation in the countryside.
Many people are moving abroad, but when they reach old age,
some may return to Japan completely.

Hello, Mana-san.

Mana-san, are you at the stage of thinking about moving from Japan to Hawaii? ？
I have been in Hawaii for a while for work, and I would like to write what I feel from that perspective, so I hope this will help you.

I have no intention to discredit Hawaii, but I myself did not come here of my own volition, and in that sense, I may not be
the majority.
Therefore, my impression of Hawaii may differ greatly from others, but I hope you can see it as an opinion.



・ What is better about Hawaii
As tonton mentioned, I am sure about the climate.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no winter, and many people say that they no longer catch cold here. Compared to Japan with its high temperature and humidity, I feel that the burden on the body is much smaller than in Japan.
Also, with easy access to the beautiful ocean, I think it is still a paradise for those who love the sea.

Also, in terms of work, I personally think it may be a better fit than Japan.
The structure of the company is such that job changes are much more common than in Japan, so if you are capable, you can aim for a higher position
which I think is also an attractive point.
（ On the other hand, there is a risk of being eliminated without mercy if you are not capable ）

This may be limited to where I work, but the environment is more open and relaxed than in Japan.
The company is more strict than in Japan in terms of discrimination and harassment, and because of the nature of the island, the competition is less
intense and the corporate culture is more relaxed. However, I think this depends on the company.
Personally, I find it a better working environment than when I was in a Japanese company, but I think it depends on various conditions.


・ Things that are better in Japan
I think there are too many to write about.
Not only about prices, but also the level of security, service, sanitation, and transportation is much better in Japan as far as I am concerned.
As for prices and services, my skin feeling is that prices are 1/3 of what they are in Japan, and services are less hit or miss in my book, and
even if I had the misfortune to catch a miss, I thought the level of the miss would be forgivable.

In Japan, for example, if you live in a major city such as Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya, you can go on a
excursion to Okinawa or Hokkaido, for example, or even a short trip from Tokyo to Shizuoka or Osaka to Nagoya within a few hours ～ half a day. It takes only a few hours and less than half a day to get there.
Hawaii is an island, so the next destination would be the west coast of the U.S. or Japan, and the flight time alone is 5 ～ 10 hours.
If you add the time before and after the flight, it takes almost a full day just to travel, and the cost of that travel should be less in Japan.
So if you are the kind of person who likes to go away for a weekend or a short holiday, Japan is probably a better choice.

Also, Hawaii is a small island, so the places you go may always be the same.
If that is what you prefer, there is no problem at all, but "always going to the same place" is an option that can be taken in Japan as well, so
if you think about it in terms of "which is better", I think that Japan has more options and is better.


・ Permanent residence in Hawaii
I am not positive about permanent residence at this time.
It is true that Hawaii has many good points, but in terms of total livability,
I think it was easier to live in urban or similar areas in Japan （ or near the city centers of Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba ）.
I have the impression that Hawaii is a place to enjoy because it is a place to come for fun, and if you live there, you can see a different side of Hawaii.


In any case, depending on your current situation （ your job, age, residence, family situation, and future plans ） moving to Hawaii
may be highly recommended, or it may require careful consideration. I think it is a very good idea.

I am sure I have not written everything here, so please feel free to comment
if you would like more details.


I apologize for the length of this message.

I have lived in Hawaii for over 10 years.
What makes Hawaii better than Japan ＝ climate, nature, income, outdoor activities
What makes Japan better than Hawaii ＝ everything is cheaper （ cost of living, medical care ）, food is good regardless of price

If you live in Hawaii now, do you want to live in Hawaii forever? ＝ do you want to live in Hawaii forever do you plan to keep Hawaii as a hub as long as you are working?

I believe that you must be a continuous resident of the State of Hawaii in order to be eligible to file an application with the court. In other words, if you hold a visa and pay taxes to the State of Hawaii, you may be eligible to receive services from the State of Hawaii. This is similar to the fact that a foreigner cannot apply to a Japanese court for legal action under Japanese law without permission. If you hire an attorney who specializes in Hawaii family law, it may be possible to negotiate and produce an agreement without going through the courts, but I feel that in this type of case, there is a very high possibility that you will pay a lot of money to an attorney and not see any results.

Hello, Ayachin-san
I wrote to you because I don't think it is someone else's problem.
I think it is possible for Ayachin-san to get child support.
In fact, there was a woman in Japan who was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend who was in the U.S. military in Japan, and she got it even though he went back to the U.S. It was on the news. It was on the news.
However, it would be better to hire a lawyer, but since there is a precedent for this, it should be quite certain and safe.
I'm rooting for you.

I am also unmarried, pregnant, and gave birth in Hawaii, so I may be able to provide some information.
I am happy to help if I can, as I too have been through a very difficult time.

The man is so used to cheating Japanese women that
he will probably get away with it.
So, you should abandon the idea of getting child support. So, it is better to abandon the idea of getting child support.
Instead of that kind of thinking, it is better to claim for compensation in a lawsuit that you have been mentally and physically injured.
Do you have a photo of the other person, his/her real name and date of birth, socials, etc. ？?

Thank you all for your comments. Your warm comments have been very comforting. I am well aware that I am selfish and will cause my children to feel sorry for me.
I don't know how many times I blamed myself for that and wanted to end it all.

However, I believe that there are children in the world who have a good life with a good father.
If you say I am just looking down on you, that's all, but I am ready to love and take good care of my children for their fathers.
That's why I posted this way, to think about what I can do for my children and to borrow your knowledge.

I received a reply today from a child support agency in Hawaii that even I can use their support.
It will be a long term process and it will be hard, but I am so glad that I thought it was worth it to let my child know that a father exists.

Thank you so much for pushing me back.

I once ， saw a case of an Okinawan woman who received child support in a similar case, so I Serch searched and found it.
A woman in her 20s sought child support for a child born to a U.S. soldier
and was granted ， child support by a court order in the U.S. state of Hawaii after locating the missing U.S. soldier.
The Ryukyu Shimpo dated 12/06/20
The support group is Woman's Pride (Chatan, Okinawa Prefecture)
Representative: Misaki Smith
070-5692-3899
The woman had a DNA test and was able to receive child support payments until her child turned 18.
You are almost there. Your baby will surely be a nutrient that will give you Energy.
You must have been very worried. What she needs now ， is compassion. She was cheated by cheaters. So, please stop criticizing Japanese women. It happens in every country.
Please give me your positive opinion for her and her baby.

There is a Honolulu ・ Badminton ・ Club in Kalihi.

The web only lists an evening schedule, but I believe they only run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from about 9am to noon.

There are other days of the week where the gym is open as badminton days, but I think they were all evening hours.

You can find some on Google using keywords like Honolulu, badminton, etc. I recently got back into it and started playing at https://honolulubadminton.com/. I myself am not young anymore and I do it for my health, but there are informal sessions on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings where we play games, mostly seniors. Non-members are about ＄ 17 at a time. The other rule seems to be to bring your own shuttle. By the way, I don't have a car as well, so this club is convenient for me as I can take the bus there and back during the light hours.
