It used to be much easier to apply for permanent residency.
"Visa expired" then you could only get a permanent residence visa, so you applied for a green card.

There was no limit to the number of applications for lottery permanent residence, and each person could apply for as many as they wanted.
A friend of mine printed about 2,000 applications and won.

I wonder if the people who switched to Permanent Resident status will stay in the US for the rest of their lives.
If you are ready to make your bones in the U.S., you have to become an American citizen.

Even boarders can get permanent residency if they meet the requirements for application.

It is up to the permanent resident to obtain permanent residence and live anywhere in the world.
But there are restrictions on permanent residency, so you need to know that.

I have seen this kind of topic here in the past, and I know how to apply, but the respondent said that the course is held every day and he took it for 2 days, but from what I can see, it is not every day, and I thought that maybe it is just one day, so I would like to know if anyone has recently obtained the certificate and what the situation is like.
Also, is there a test at the end of the course ？
Thank you very much.

Thank you ！
Are you perhaps the same person who answered my previous question about food handlers ？
It would be nice to be able to do it online even though it costs a fee ！ I see the test is in quiz format ！
One more thing I would like to know if possible, I think the certificate is valid for 3 years, if I want to keep it, do I have to take the test again ？
Thank you very much.

A food handler certificate is an advantage when applying for jobs.
I'm in the group that got hired after I got it.

It's not that hard and
it's good to know for your own life.

Private School in Hawaii

Question
#1
  • ハワイの学校について
  • 2023/08/24 15:44

I recently saw a post about preschool and was surprised to learn that many of you are considering private schooling after Kinder.
I am amazed at the high tuition fees for a well-known private school ($ 20,000 ～ /year) and feel that it is not easy even if you are working together.
What are your reasons （ for wanting a private school even with such high tuition ） and why do you prefer to avoid papric schools ？
and is your family working together ？

? We have a preschooler who is still at a pre-school age, but I would like to hear from both private and public people for future reference.
Thank you.

I also did a lot of research on private schooling for my children, but
I realized that with our family budget, I would have to work very hard to afford it.
We moved to an area with a good reputation for public schools at least.
We found a good school with a nearly 100% college-going rate, so
my child is now a student at a university in the Mainland.
College is even more expensive, so it's not easy.

For Kindergarten-6th grade, it is not as important to attend a private school if you can get your child into a good public school. This is not always easy though and you have to either live in a good district or get a Geographic Exception (GE). Some parents of course believe that private schools are the best and if they can afford them, its no problem. However please keep in mind that tuition is only one cost. You also have to factor in books, after school care, extracurricular activities, summer school, etc. Extracurricular activities start off cheaper when children are small because the lessons are usually once a week for a shorter time. By the time they reach middle school, these activities can be adding thousands of dollars every year. Some parents feel that private schools are more important at the high school age, BUT do not want to take a chance so they apply their child at a young age and get in when the application process is easier (no SSAT entrance exam tests). Ultimately, you should really look at the finances, if you are going to be struggling to keep up, it is definitely not worth it. There are many good public schools and if your child is smart, they can succeed anywhere. Better to spend time with them when they are young than to work many hours and let someone else (private school) raise them. There is no denying that many good private schools offer a good network and environment, but not at the cost of you and your partner struggling. 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce and the largest cause of divorces are financial struggles.

When my children were still small (around 2 or 3 years old)
the topic of conversation among my mom's friends was private or public school. It was.

We were both working at home, but private school was never an option.
We were able to at least enroll him in a public school with a good reputation in GE.
In exchange for private tuition, we were able to give her a variety of lessons.

Fortunately, I was able to enroll him in a school with a high percentage of students going on to higher education and he is attending a university in the Mainland, including scholarships, after receiving recognition in his field of study.
As Hawaii Five-O said, even more universities are expensive and difficult, though. I worry a lot about my children's future and school. I think it would be good to hear about the experiences of different people to help you 😊.

？
I feel that the tip in restaurants goes up and down based on 20%
Starbucks is $1-$3
for talking and teaching me
but nowadays I feel uncomfortable when I have to choose between 15% and 25% for a single rice ball . I feel uncomfortable when I have to make a choice.
I'm not saying it should be up to the vending machine, but should I be tipped even if I just click without saying a word
or not ？
I think it's unnecessary, but I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on this!

I have never tipped for take-out rice balls.

With these high prices, not only the waiters, but also us residents （ and office workers ） cannot afford it.

Those who can afford it are paying above average tips. I think that's fine.

I know people who are self-employed and have to spend more money than they get in taxes.

You buy it in a store, not a restaurant, and when you select the screen, choose NOTIP
and put it in a cup or something else that is left for a $1 tip in cash.
It's the same $1 or $2 at Starbucks. Unless you are in a restaurant where you sit down to be served
I wouldn't give more than that.
They will prepare it for you, so it's like a labor charge. It is usually $1. Unless the tip is part of the salary, like in a restaurant,
there is no need to calculate it as a percentage.

We feel that the tipping culture is becoming even more prevalent due to Corona.
Tipping servers is understandable, but very often we are asked to tip on the screen
in the style of standing in line at a store to buy something. In the case of the Corona Disaster, I used to tip as a way of
supporting the store, but when I get in line at the store to buy a single tapioca and
tip is displayed, I don't know which service I am tipping for.
McDonald's, Starbucks, cafes, I do not tip if I am just ordering. Don't worry about these things, don't worry about it, 0% is fine.　:\cHB2D2D2:)

Ladies and gentlemen
thank you. I am relieved to know that my sense is not so far off. I'm sorry to add this, but the other day when I skipped a tip at a certain rice ball shop, the Japanese waiter gave me a blatantly disgusted look
and I wondered if it is a job where I receive tips on a regular basis ？ to begin with. I would be happy to pay if they offer various suggestions and support as much as Starbucks' older brothers and sisters do ^_^ Also, I think it's very nice to have a tip that means supporting the store. I would like to incorporate it too. Thank you all again!

The POS System has a Tip section. This cannot be omitted on the System.

So, if you have a To Go rice ball shop or something like that, if that section comes up, you can SKIP
no problem.

Of course, if you put a Tip, no problem.

Tip should be said "put down" or "give", not "pay". I want you to put it down comfortably.

Sometimes there are people who stay in the U.S. for a long period of time and do not remove their Japanese resident card.
They are not illegal residents, but people with visas or green cards （ who may be American citizens ？ ）.
In that case, you will not have to continue to pay National Insurance and Resident Tax. In that case, I think I have to keep paying National Insurance and Resident's Tax (???), but does anyone know what the benefits are to not report moving abroad ？

Please help me.

You can always return to your country for treatment. You can get a pension in Japan. You have no income in Japan, so you have minimal expenses. Prescriptions are also cheaper in Japan. If you are renting a room and living here, don't say "anytime", just go back home You can get government assistance even though you have no income in Japan.
Don't be persistent, but think about how you can stabilize your life.

He is not a dandy. He is different from his older brothers.
The "datte" in "datte ni ikimai nai" is "datte" in "datte-o".
The word "datte" means to be vain, to adorn one's appearance.
It means to act flamboyantly, especially to attract attention.

"Not living in date" means not living in such a superficial or lax manner.
It is also used of "not being Date or drunken".
This "drunkenness" also means the same thing, to be fond of things.

Zoom is for communication using video, LINE is for communication using text, stamps, etc. （ LINE can also be used for video conversations ）, I think. I think that each of them is suited for different purposes, so it is a little difficult to compare them in terms of advantages ・ and disadvantages.
By the way, LINE requires all users to verify their identity with a cell phone number, but Zoom does not.
