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.

About U.S. cell phone numbers that can receive SMS in Japan

Question

I am looking for an American cell phone carrier
that allows me to receive SMS in Japan.
Let's share information here.

I'll start with
1)onesimcard's US mobile number for bank verification
https://www.onesimcard.com/cell-phone-accessories/usa-2-step-bank- verification-number/
It costs about $80 per year, but there are some banks
that do not accept it. For example, us bank will reject
your phone number if you register it.

2)tello
https://tello.com/
You can keep it for at least $5 a month.
But outside of US, only wifi calling is available.
When I went back to Japan temporarily, I couldn't even receive SMS.
I tried to contact tello, but they didn't give me a clear answer.
Is it a problem with my phone model?
Did you receive SMS in Japan?

That's all from me. Please let me know your
information too.

I think most other MVNOs are the same, but H2O wireless also has no contract, so you just can't use it when the plan you purchased expires, whether you pay monthly or annually.
If you can't use it anymore, you can purchase another plan and you can use it again with the same SIM.

I hadn't seen this since it turned into a rough thread, but I'm relieved that it is a constructive exchange of ideas.
H2O wireless confirmed. It looks good that international roaming is supported.

I was in Europe last week, and as for Tello, both phone calls and SMS were
OK with wificalling. However, it did not support international roaming. I wonder if wificalling is available in Japan.
It also supports eSIM, so I can continue it even after I go back to Japan.

It has been 2 years since I returned to Japan and I am still receiving 2-step verification SMS and SMS for bank and mutual fund accounts, Paypal, etc. via Google Voice without any problems.

I cancelled my cell phone in the U.S. when I returned to Japan, but in Japan I have a contract with Rakuten Mobile using the same iPhone, and since my Google Voice number is still active, I can receive the same SMS from both my registered email and the application.
I recently opened a new bank account for fund transfer during a business trip to the US as well, and I am also receiving 2-step verification for that.

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.

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 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.

Hello !
I would like to ask if anyone using HT internet in the Waikiki, Kaimuki, or Diamond Head area has any problems with connection or speed. I am currently using Spectrum, but I am wondering if I should switch to Spectrum to save money since it costs $90 for internet alone. However, I know that the price of HT is going up every year. Please let me know if you are using it ^_^.

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.
