Did you receive your $300 Hawaii State Tax Refund ？?

I completed my tax return in March of this year and registered a Bank Account because I needed to pay the state tax, not a refund, and later the state tax was automatically deducted from my bank account.
I have not received the $300.00 yet and I am getting a little nervous.

In my case, I enclosed an additional check with my TAX Return for 2021 and received it on November 1. The check was issued on October 24. Does this mean that the date the check is sent ranges from person to person?

The view from the bridge on H1 in the Kaimuki area toward Waikiki or around Aiea and Ewa is amazing every year.
The fireworks at Waikiki Beach are not so great because there are many people.

I married a Japanese permanent resident and applied for permanent residence and it will be 2 years next February.
A Japanese lawyer told me that it takes an average of 1.5 years, not 2 years ｡ but if anyone is in a similar situation or knows more details about the process of obtaining permanent residence, I would appreciate any information!

It seems to be taking a long time now. You mention below that it is taking

I think the situation will change depending on whether you are applying from Japan or within the U.S.
I think it would be easier to comment if you had a brief current progress report.

The link below is to a green card applicant forum.
For your information.

Then the procedure is in two stages, I-130 (petition) and I-485 (permanent resident application ）).
If next February will be 2 years, then
the I-130 has already been accepted and you are waiting for the I-485 interview?

Currently, the waiting time for I-485 in Honolulu is
24.5 months and 80% processed, right?
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

If I understand correctly, if you are married to a green card holder, the I-485 should be filed after the
I-130 is accepted.
Based on the information above, 80% of people are processed in about 2 years from the date the I-485 is filed.

If next February is two years from the filing of the I-485, then the goal may be close.
Conversely, if the two years includes the I-130 processing period, we may wait another year or so.

One more thing, is Aoi-san in Japan now ？
In that case, the I-485 is not processed in the US, but through the US Embassy
・ Consulate in Japan, so
the processing time will be different.

Yes, once the I-130 is approved by USCIS, the case is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) at the Department of State, where the NVC coordinates the schedule with the U.S. Embassy in Japan, and after an interview at the Embassy, the immigrant visa is issued. Once it is confirmed that you entered the U.S. on that immigrant visa, a green card will be sent to your registered address after you enter the country.

The immigrant visa application form is the DS-260, and once NVC processes Aoi's case, it will begin the process of paying the application fee and processing the DS-260. Please refer to the following links for more information.

Back to the main topic, the processing time is
USCIS reviews the I-130,
NVC reviews the case,
DS-260 application to interview,
and the processing speed depends on how busy each department is. The speed will vary depending on the busyness of each department.
It would be easier to compare your time with others if we know where you are in this process.

A woman of that age is sure to be particular and
have a certain amount of everything.
If you think about the possibility of returning or exchanging what you sent
(in the US, after Christmas, people line up to return or exchange their gifts)
Why not just send a gift card of your favorite brand with some chocolates ？
$? From 100 to $ 300, that would be more appreciated.

I have made and given them to friends and family at a store in Pearlridge called memory block and they love them.
You can use any photo or drawing you have of your memories.
They print on a wooden block, it takes about 10 minutes and they wrap it for you.

They seem to come in different sizes and at different prices …
Have a look if you are interested.

Honolulu Where you can get your car's oil changed right away without having to leave your car.

Hello.

I don't spend much time or money changing the oil in my car as it is a standard compact car.

If you inquire before you go, many places will raise the price abnormally or won't do it unless you leave your car with them.

Some of you who have been there in the last few months were able to get your oil changed immediately without leaving your car. Please let us know your recommendations.

Thank you very much.

Just this morning I had an oil change at the Nissan dealership ≪King Windward Nissan∩.
I had a 7:20 appointment time and finished with a free car wash at 9:00.
There is free coffee in the waiting room.

But the price has gone up a gazillion dollars, it used to be less than $40, but this time it was almost $60.

There's an oil change place called "Jiffy Lube" at University City, South Beretania Street, next to Burger King.
It is drive-through style and you don't even have to get out of your car.

Also, if there are any other documents I need, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Green card renewal （ during ） return to Japan

Question
#1
  • m

  • 2022/12/04 09:04

I am about to renew my green card, but at any rate, the last time was 10 years ago, so I don't remember anything. I am worried that if I make a mistake, it will be a hassle.
First of all, how do I basically renew it myself ？ And I am sure it will take an unbelievable amount of time to get it in my hands, but I will definitely go to Japan during the renewal process. Or there may be an emergency return to Japan in case of emergency.
Can I go out of the U.S. and come back while renewing ？ or do I have to go through some procedures ？

How to renew by myself.
Can I apply for a special application to leave and return outside the US at the same time of renewal ？ If so, how ？

Anyone who can help me, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

It is best to carry both a permit and an expired green card.
In case you are wondering, I asked my lawyer for safety. I applied last September and still
have not received my new card.

I renewed my 10 year last September, 6 months before the expiration date.
I received a letter saying no fingerprints and biometrics, and that I would use the 10 year old one but no refund.
I received my green card 6 days after the renewal date.
It was so fast that I suspected it was a fake.
I was wondering if I will be able to use the 10 year old photo for another 10 years ？ ？ ？

I heard it will take more than a year for those who applied this year.
I heard that those who have passed the one year have received a one year extension letter.

Where do you order Photo Cards ？?

Question

I know many people send family photos as cards this time of year, but where do you order your cards ？
I ordered mine from Walgreens and received an email with a Redy for pick up, but the store said they had no information about my order. I asked several times, but eventually I did the refund myself. I had ordered a different design, and that one arrived, but it wasn't enough, so I had to order more.
I have a similar experience with Longs.

I ordered my first photo card this year and decided to go with Shutterfly. I compared many different sites and found a design I liked on Shutterfly. After placing the order, I was able to check the status every step of the way on My Page, and after the order was completed, it was delivered to my home, so I think there is less worry about supplier mistakes like Photo experienced. The finished product was also quite good.
