Even if you have a lot of anxiety in English, you can use a cell phone translation app to explain it to them.

It used to be OK. Now it is subject to denial to enter the country under ESTA, get married, stay in Hawaii for more than 90 days beyond the period of stay for tourism, and get a green card
The best way is to take your husband and live in Japan.

Here is an article by a law school professor for your reference.
I am not sure when you wrote it.
It was written here, but it seems that the response is quite different if the couple got romantically involved after entering Japan and got married, or if they planned to get married before and entered Japan under ESTA.
In any case, since this is a life-altering matter, it is advisable to consult an immigration attorney rather than relying on bulletin board information.

As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US ）),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.

#12,

You can look up the Processing Time for the I-130 on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
Form is I-130 and Form Category is Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21.

Also, according to the following site, it may take 4-5 years to receive I-130 in some cases.

I am also a GEIKO.
I am sure it will go up if you use insurance for whatever reason. Even though I didn't use it, it went up this year for reasons of rising prices.

If you have a police report, you could submit it to the insurance company and let them know that the accident was not your fault.

There is no guarantee that rates will not go up...

Police Reportはありますか？無くても問題は無いですが。
私有地で発生した場合は、基本的にはPolice Reportは
出してくれません。

ご自身の保険を使っても保険料は上がりませんよ。

但し、その時の状況によって2025年の保険は上がる
場合はありますが、保険を使ったからでは無いです。

Hello.
There are many people in the U.S. who are over 65 years old and working while receiving Social Security
.
Unlike Japan, we don't put your date of birth and age on your resume, so
I think it is special if you look young.
If you are beautiful, young, clean and witty, you will be hired.
The average life expectancy of a woman is approximately 90 years, so not working for 30 years
would be a good idea to contribute to society to prevent becoming a boor.

About a third of the information magazines in the free press are realtors over 60.

I am also 60 years old and
recently changed jobs. Of course, it's a full-time job. I still don't get a pension, so I plan to work for another 5 years.

I'm 73 years old and working 25 hours a week part time while getting a pension ！
I think you should work if you are healthy. Especially in Hawaii, I think there are many companies looking for Japanese
people.

I don't think it is reckless. There are many people around me.

However, even if you don't choose your job, I don't think there are many companies where you can work
only in Japanese.

I don't feel like I can say I have much time. Rather than going to see temples
, I would probably go to Nishiki Market to eat and walk around. Well, it's at tourist prices, but I think it's still a good idea because of the
benefit of the weak yen.

There are a lot of them downtown

There are some same-day stores, but there is a long waiting list ！

The dry cleaners next to the post office in Ala Moana Center used to fix clothes, but I'm not sure about now ！ Ask them . 666>

To be exact, it's in the back of the Palama Market near Don Quijote in Ala Moana, right next to the fabric store.

Hello.
I am currently using a Roland FRP sold at Costco.
I also play classical piano, so I think I can help you.

First of all, there are many types of electronic pianos.
Weighted means that the keys are weighted like a real piano. This is for people who want to learn piano seriously like a classical piano.
However, the weighted keys may be tiring at first. That being said, the best thing about the weighted electronic piano is that with practice you can express delicate sounds.
So if you want to focus on "playing" the piano, I would recommend weighted.

I don't know much about piano touch, but I think it is the ability to change the volume of the sound depending on how hard you press the keys.

If you are just starting to make music, you don't really need the weighted feature. Instead, we recommend a "keyboard" that can produce sounds from a variety of sources and instruments.
It does not have the weight of an electronic piano, but it specializes in "inserting sounds into a music application," which is essential for music creation. It can produce not only piano sounds, but also drums, guitars, and almost any instrument sound you can think of, and you can put them into applications such as a computer to make music.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have the "weight" of a real piano, so it is not suitable for practice.

Most electronic pianos fall into these two categories.

If you want to learn to play the piano, we recommend this electronic piano.

I use it and it has a lot of accessories.

I recommend this keyboard for people who want to make music on a computer or other devices.

It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources. It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources.
