Please let me know if anyone in Waikele has had a PCR test recently.

I will be returning to Japan next Tuesday.
I know that Waikele is the only venue that offers free PCR testing on weekends, but I was wondering if you could tell me how long it takes to get the results after a recent test.

I took the test last week.

In my case, the person in charge told me that I would get the results in 24 to 72 hours, but
I received the results about 21 hours after the sample was taken.

It seems that the test time changes depending on the situation.

As you may know, the location was changed to the entrance of the restroom on the Michael Course side.

Dear Result

Thank you for your valuable information !
I went for the test today. I checked with the person in charge and I don't know if this is a routine response, but he told me that I would get the results in 24-48 hours. Since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, I asked if the time required would vary greatly depending on whether the lab was operating or not, and they replied that it was.
Just knowing that last week's results came out in about 21 hours makes me feel a little more comfortable waiting.

Thank you very much !

For those of you who have recently taken the PCR test at NomiHealth, how long did it take you to receive notification of your test results?

I took the test yesterday morning and still have not received the notification. I am a little worried because I used to receive the notification in the morning of the next day.

#6 Dear friend from Nomi Health
We were tested at Ala Moana at 11:45AM on 12/14(水) and received the notification of the test results at 11:54AM on 12/18(日).

By the way, when we took the test at Ala Moana, there was no one else taking the test but us and it was a rattle.

We had an early morning flight on the 17th (Sat.), so we called Nomi Health on the 16th (Fri.). They replied that there are cases of sometimes just before 72 hours, but in the end I could not make it within 72 hours.

Dear Nomimi,

Thank you for telling us.

I think it must have been really difficult
to have to pay for the test at the last minute after all.

I am only speculating, but I think
there may have been a system failure that prevented you from logging in.

I will share with the summary manager what happened to Nomimi.

If anyone has recently had a PCR done at Nomi in Ala Moana, could you please let me know how long it takes to get the results?

I was going to check the hours on the website and I know they are closed on Sundays, but is the Ala Moana testing center now closed on Saturdays as well ?
I was unable to select Saturday and Sunday on the calendar when making an appointment. I was getting worried because I thought that going for an exam on a Saturday would be ideal.
I checked other inspection sites and it seems that Waikele does it on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am wondering if I have no choice but to go to Waikele...but I would like to take it in Honolulu if possible.

Please let me know if you know of any other free PCR testing sites in Honolulu for people returning to Japan.
Thank you very much.

Dear PCR test
For your information, since it seems to be difficult to get a response. After I posted this topic, until recently, I have received DMs from several people asking "I also took the test at Flea Health, but the test result is not available in time for my flight. It seems that Japan's border control measures will be abolished on May 8, so we have to be patient for a little while longer.

Why not stop living on money ??

Because we live on money, we have to go and do things we don't want to do every day.
But if you don't need the money, you don't have to do it ?
Without money, you are much less safe, but you won't necessarily die. Even wild animals are the same. Some animals get eaten, but others survive to the end.
You are lucky if you survive, unlucky if you die.
Isn't that good enough ?
Why do we have to do things every day that we don't want to do that we might not have to do ?
There are too many people in the world today, and if everyone lived freely without spending money, wouldn't it be just fine ?

This guy is so crazy

Have a life without regrets

Especially in your old age, it costs much more than when you were young

Keep in mind

When you can no longer work and you become elderly

the pension you can rely on will come from the government if you worked hard when you were young



do you understand ? <

When you get old and need care

No one will look after you for free

When you die, will someone take care of you ?

Will someone give you a funeral ?

Will someone write your death certificate ?

You are still young, so you don't need to think about it ?

That is a big mistake

When you are young I played too much and saved nothing

I'm in debt...

That's why people should work when they can

You'll have the last laugh of your life ?

We'll see

Find joy in working rather than posting nonsense

don't underestimate the world

you understand ?

Before the Corona pandemic, I had given up on the idea that it was natural to put up with things that I didn't like and was not good at, and had worked hard for the company under a state of maximum stress. However, the company I had devoted so much of my time and effort to was completely cut off after the Corona pandemic, and while I was on standby at home during the pandemic, I had time to reflect on myself, and my thinking changed.

I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I had the courage to say no to relationships I didn't enjoy, and I felt refreshed. I got a job that suits me without worrying about how I look, and although my income is less than when I was an office worker, my heart is fuller. Although there is a system in which people can get help if they don't have a penny, the subsidies are taxpayer-funded, and the system is built on the basis of people who have money. I think everyone has money, some don't, some don't want to spend it, but I need money because I like to eat what I want, buy what I want, and travel, so I don't think living without money is freedom.

About a year ago,

I don't know which vaccine you need, but in my case, I needed an additional tetanus vaccine.
I got it at Long's and it was covered by my insurance.
If you go to the Longs website and enter your date of birth, you can see a list of which vaccines are available at which Longs.
There were about 10 vaccines available at Long's.

However, at the Longs near my house, I had to make an appointment.

I found the price list I looked up at the time and will repost it.

The one I got was the triple vaccine including tetanus Ǿ(Tdap Ǿ).

Long's $ 48
Safeway $ 55
Walmart $ 51
Cosco $ 51

For reference.

Thanks for the information.
I was told that my insurance would not cover it and when I checked the cost at Longs I was told Tdap was $85 ・ ・ ・ .
I didn't realize how much of a difference a year makes ・ ・ ・.

Mr. G.

Does it change that much in a year ?
so I did some research.
Then I found a site where I could find out how much at a nearby store.

https://www.goodrx.com/tdap

This shows that even Long's is $ 56.
I'm puzzled that Cosco is $ 75...

It says that the price is without insurance.
Maybe the price of the vaccine is $ 56, and the fee or injection fee ?

doctor will charge a doctor visit, so in any case, I think the drugstore is cheaper.

I have searched the internet, and now I am waiting for the notification of my speech and medical examination. I am waiting to hear back from anyone who is also applying, has taken permanent residence, or has recently given a speech, or any other information you can give me.
I know it is different for everyone, but I would like to know even approximately how long it will take.

I think your partner is a citizen or will take citizenship because this waiting time is not worth it.

I have met many Japanese people in Hawaii and California who have won green cards and are living there.

They say the odds of winning are better than winning the lottery.

If your partner doesn't get citizenship, you might make better use of your time if you wait while applying for a green card.

At the moment, it takes about 8 years in this case.

If you go back and forth between Hawaii and Japan on ESTA, you will be at a disadvantage
You will have to wait in Japan.

It is best to let your husband get his citizenship while you still can.

I myself married a permanent resident more than 10 years ago,
following the same pattern as Aoi, and applied for a green card.
I went back and forth between Hawaii and Japan and got pregnant, but my lawyer told me to wait in Japan instead of entering the US.

After the birth, I could not come to Hawaii and my husband came to Japan to see me every 6 months for 4 years and it took me 6 years to get my green card.

I heard that some people who are married to Citizen now take more than 2 years to get a green card, so I think you should be prepared for 6 years.

Over 10 years ago, I married a Japanese permanent resident in Hawaii and
applied for a green card through a Hawaii attorney.
During the application process, I visited Hawaii a couple of times with my husband on a tourist visa. 
I was not stopped at any point when I entered the country and I got my green card 3 years after I applied. 
Reading your posts, especially # 2's post and others, I now wonder ? if my actions were dangerous.
but that there are cases like this. I don't know what the current situation is, but I am surprised that they are trying to see if the marriage can continue. It could simply be that it's an American thing and the paperwork is slow. At the time I was there, I was told that some people take 10 years to get married, but that there are cases where it only took 3 years. Please be hopeful and survive your long distance marriage.

Before Corona, there was a fair amount of active fellowship here, but perhaps because of the mask society in Japan, people are now too shy to go out in Hawaii, where mask-less is the rule.
