I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ?
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ?
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ! Thank you very much. Please !

There is no age requirement, but it is difficult if you are too young. This is because the qualities of being able to manage in the same position as a manager are questioned.
If you have several years of experience as a restaurant manager or the like, I think you will be safe.

Japalace can afford to give you E2
even if you don't want it
and the owners of Japalace in Hawaii
are seriously short of staff
and want you to come tomorrow to be honest, I'd like you to come tomorrow but the benefits and hours are not that great.

There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds in management positions at all workplaces
However, the treatment and hours are not as good … Hey … You get the picture ?
We let them live in Hawaii so they have to sign slave contracts. I know, right?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

It's up to you to climb out of it !
I wish you the best of luck.

I am a freshman at UH who started school yesterday, and I would like to attend my cousin's wedding in Japan on November 10(日), but is it possible to take a day off from college for the wedding?

I think that schools are closed on 11/5 and 11/11 holidays, so I am thinking of leaving after school on 11/1 for 10 nights and 12 days (4 days off from school) or leaving after school on 11/4 for 7 nights and 9 days (3 days off from school). I am thinking about it.

School just started yesterday, but I have to reply to the wedding and I also have to buy plane tickets, so if I can take a day off, is it ok to tell my teacher earlier?

If it doesn't conflict with a project or test, you should be fine ?
However, you may only find out about mini-tests and such right before the test, but you need to be prepared to miss some school.
Teachers will be OK with it.
You should ask if you can take the classes you can't take online ?.

I'm sharing this because my child just recently went through a similar situation. There was an event in the mainland U.S. in the middle of the semester, and I had to attend that, so I took a week off.
I properly discussed it with all the professors in the class, and I remember that their reaction was not bad. Some said it was OK if I submitted a formal invitation to the event and did all the homework, while others said that proof was not required but the main prerequisite was to Catch Up on all the classwork to be Missed.
Some classes had tests during that time, but in that case, they put him alone on a different day ( I think they were afraid that other students would leak the information, so the test was moved up ). It went surprisingly smoothly and cooperatively, probably because I usually tried to communicate with my professors as much as possible. However, it seems that Catch Up of the class contents during the vacation was quite difficult after you returned, but maybe it is not so difficult if you take a break for 3 or 4 days. Good luck !

Thank you all
I have just started my part-time job, so I apologize for the delay. School has just started and I am still trying to get a grasp of the university system, but I am relieved to know that I may be able to take some time off depending on how I do it. I will ask my cousin to wait until the last minute to respond to my participation and will think it over. Thank you very much.

When I was a junior college student at WA State, I took
4 days off because my brother was getting married in Hawaii. Through Dean in the Office of International Student Affairs, I submitted a
4-day leave of absence form to my department teacher.

The department teacher called me and told me to come to my office
as soon as I returned.
On the day I returned to school, before the class started, I received
all the materials for my absence from school from the department teacher.

If you are an international student, you should talk to the Dean of that office
and make a decision.

When I first applied for my green card, my last name was Suzuki,
then I remarried and changed it to Sato, so the green card I have now is also Sato.
I submitted my renewal documents online for the first time because it is about to expire soon.
After submitting the form, I received an email with a case status update
I logged in to the website and found that my profile on the website was in my maiden name, Suzuki.
I am worried that I will be issued a new green card with my maiden name by mistake.
I tried to confirm by sending a message on the website, but
I can't seem to send it because there is no topic that fits the inquiry options.
If anyone has had the same experience, please let me know what happened.
Thanks in advance.

How do you store your shoes in your house in Hawaii where there is no shoe storage space in the foyer? It is a hassle to put them away and take them out when you need to use them, so I would like to know how you all do it.

My daughter has been in preschool since this past August.
I would like to aim for Punahou or Iolani from Kinder now as the preschool does not have Kinder.

I would like to ask those who have recently been accepted to Punahou and Iolani
Which private school or tutor did you use?
I am looking for a lot of different ways to find a tutor,
Takahashi Juku used to have a high pass rate, but now …
it's not so easy to find one.

I would like to know the current situation, not just rumors, if anyone is attending Takahashi Juku.

Honda Educational Learning Partners, Quick stars, and Dr. Pam in Hawaii Kai also seem to be highly rated. I would like to know if you know of any tutors or tutoring services that you recommend or that have a high success rate. Thank you in advance

娘が高橋塾に行って、プナホウとイオラニに合格しました。隣に他の生徒がいて気が散ると言う心配をされていますが、実際の受験の時を考えるとその方が訓練になったと思います。ADHD持ちで、集中力にかなりムラがあるのですが、プナホウの受験の時に、グループに分かれてサークルになって作業するテストの時に、同じようなお友達でいつも一緒に騒いでいる子と同じグループになって、かなり心配しました。終わったー(涙)って思ったくらいです。 でも、合格発表されて、アポイントをとってから結果を聞きに行った時に、「隣のお友達が声をかけてきた時に、今はテストだから終わったらお話しようねって言っていた。とメモ書きされてます」と言われました。 泣きそうでした 笑
塗り絵も、これ本当に娘ですか???って聞いたくらい、まぁ本当に丁寧に綺麗に塗ってありました。 静かな環境で家庭教師とかだったら、うちの娘みたいなタイプは、きっと無理だったんじゃないかと思います。
プナホウとイオラニではかなりカラーが違うので、色々悩む時期だと思いますが頑張ってください!

Thank you !
It is wonderful that your daughter was accepted to both schools. Congratulations.
I didn't know that there is a coloring book in the exam … I don't know anything about it
I am in a hurry to send her to the school as soon as possible to gather information and practice for the exam.
How long did your daughter attend Takahashi Juku ? and how many times a week did she attend ?
Also, I would like to know if there are any practices or studies that would be good for her to do at home.
Sorry for all the questions !

Excuse me for coming in from the side.
I too have submitted applications to both schools and
am considering submitting GE as well, while wondering if I should send my now 4 year old daughter to Kinder.
# 2 Sanae-san, it is amazing that your child was accepted to both schools. ?
We have only 2 months left until the entrance exam date, so it is too late to start cramming ( tears )
Did you attend Takahashi cram school everyday ?
I have to admit that I started to consider the idea of cram school. ( I was in a hurry because the exam dates for both schools were set soon after I applied. )
I would also like to know how and when you submitted your recommendation letters.
There was no place in the Revenna and MyPunahou applications to attach them, etc.

Topix ! sorry for the flight !

I go to the main lash shop.
It's $ 140 for 100 classic lashes, including tip.

I've been to many places,
I don't know the price in Japan so I can't say, but
I think it's cheaper in Hawaii ?.

Recently, there were some questions and answers about charter schools, and I would like to know if anyone knows anything about University Lab and what kind of features it has.
As with the advice given in the other topic, it is best to actually visit the school and gather information, but I was wondering if I could find out what it is like beforehand. I am interested in this school, although I only know that it is popular and that the number of applicants is small to begin with.
Thank you very much.

I asked Sook Hi's Alteration to lengthen a t-shirt and they processed it with a lock sewing machine + straight stitches, which made the fabric unwearable because it would not stretch. It is a cropped tight t-shirt. If anyone knows a store that can do such an alteration, please let me know. Even if it is not a store but a private person. Thank you in advance.

Charter Schools in Hawaii

I learned that public schools in Hawaii have large differences in academic achievement and environment depending on the area, and many people choose to go private.
I wish I could send my own children to a private school, but the tuition barrier is still too high and I have given up. 
I am thinking of trying a charter school, although the chances of getting in are low.
Each school has its own characteristics and is very appealing, but I was wondering if anyone who is currently attending a charter school could share their thoughts on how it is really going. Thank you in advance.

My child attends Waialae Charter Elementary School, so I can explain the special features in detail.

① There are no so-called textbooks, and learning is mainly done using printouts and ipads.
➁All classes other than core subjects are taught by a full-time teacher who goes to each classroom. Hawaiiana, Music, Art, Aina, STEAM,
③ There is no so-called gifted and talented program to attract children who can study well. I have the impression that many children are enrolled in the GE program. There are a few students from the Mainland. The overwhelming majority of middle students are from Kaimuki Middle School. The charter middle in Nuuanu is also popular. Of course, there are children who go on to private schools.
④ After-school program ( W + ) is staffed by a full-time, school-appointed staff member who can keep children until 5:30. $ 170/month. Sibling discount. Often available when school is not in session ( for an additional fee ), and there is also a program that provides childcare for about 4 weeks during the 2-month summer vacation. This is great for co-workers as there are many options to keep them at school.
⑤ Compared to other public elementary schools, the new school year starts about 5 days earlier, but the winter break is 3 weeks longer.
⑥ Depending on the homeroom teacher, many classes have only reading homework, making it easier to learn.
⑦ Drop-off and pick-up by car is possible, rarely very congested.
⑧ Experienced staff who connect parents with the school for various questions are available in a timely manner.

I get the impression that the school emphasizes concepts, approaches, and collaboration among students rather than memorization and repetitive drills.
Perhaps because the emphasis is on students with various characteristics learning from each other's strengths, there is a tendency not to evaluate children solely on the basis of whether they can or cannot study, and as a parent who has received a traditional education, you may be concerned because there are few tests or homework assignments However, our students seem to be enjoying school in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
Perhaps because many parents are eager to educate their children, some parents who feel that their children are lacking in studies send them to Kumon or provide them with private tutors.

Parent-led activities are also very active, and opportunities abound for parents who want to get involved in school events.

It is a good idea to go to the school's information sessions to get a feel for the atmosphere. When I attended one, I was impressed by the principal who said, "Wai'alae is a public school like a private school. In the end, I decided that I liked the atmosphere of the school and I was sure that my child would be happy to attend. My kids have thanked me ( lol ).

About Kinder GE

Problem / Need advice

  • GEについて
  • 2024/08/21 15:05

Hello. I am looking at applying for GE cross-border commuting when I enroll in Kinder and have a few questions.
I am considering Manoa, Nuuanu, Waikiki, Wilson Elementary, etc.


1 . Regarding the "Reason for Application" on the GE application, I am supposed to check either Physical residence, Program of study (describe), or Other (describe), Program of study is the information about the study program of the school, but where can I get information about the characteristics of each school ・? ?

I could not find any detailed information on the website of the school of my choice, and I could not find any special features of the school.


2 . Do public schools have a school information session before admission ?

3. If you have chosen GE, what did you base your choice on if not location ?

I have only heard about each elemental from others, and I have also checked quantitative data on school evaluation websites, but I am having trouble understanding the detailed programs and such. I would be glad if I could use your experience as a reference.

In my case, I talked to mothers who had older children and also went on a tour of schools I was interested in. I think you should go on a tour. School events ( such as funfairs ) are open to everyone, not just current students and others involved, so I think you should go.

Dear Topic

「 Sean0914, did you gather information by talking to someone who attended the school ?
or did you visit the school staff room ? 」

#3?


We attended school fairs, checked out the atmosphere and programs, and
talked to parents before deciding on GE. \cHB2}

I gathered information when I attended the fair.

In my son's case,
the school he crossed over to had a lot of homework anyway to keep his level up, and I think it was pitiful ?.
However, I really appreciated the Japanese class in the class.
but now I have forgotten all about it.

You can call directly to the school you are interested in and ask about both the funfair and the school tour. The office is busy in the morning, so about a somewhat calmer time. We had one school that we removed from our GE list just because the office staff was so arrogant. We took our kids to both the fair and the school tour, and decided on both Elementary and Middle based on the school's surroundings and our kids' reactions as our first priority.

Visits are scheduled on a specific date and time for each school.
There is an orientation at that time, and the principal will talk to you about the school's features and what they focus on. In addition to the funfair, there are other events such as Halloween that outsiders are free to attend, so please go there.
