Dear Topi

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your
friend.
I am sorry for your pain.
But I wonder if it is what your friend would have wanted
to have everyone here see about his suicide. ？
Please do not leave such a thing here and
take your grief on your own.

As someone who has also lost a loved one,
I understand your feelings, but please do not be the cause of your friend's death.

Sorry for the sidebar.

I actually have a Japanese female friend that I have not been able to contact.
I hope it's not her, but Topix, it would be very helpful if you could give me a description of the deceased
.
I am very worried because for the first time I have not been able to read for a long time.

I'm sure everyone who lives in Hawaii who is looking at this topic is wondering what they would do
if it were their friend.

Kiki, thank you for your reply. I was so busy that I neglected to check the box. Sorry about that.

It's great to hear that you responded to the call for applications, Kiki. If it is not too far away, I would be happy to have a chat with you once in a while at a cafe or something. My oldest son lives with me and works remotely on weekdays, so I can't invite him to my house. My email address is ： totorokotokoto@yahoo.co.jp:です. Please do ＾ ＾

（ My age is 74, which is close to old age? I am not a young person. I lived in SJ for a long time and I know people who still live there, but they are all old and some have moved away, so I really feel like I am all alone. I really wanted to live in SJ, but here I am. ）

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.

＞ Is there a Japanese school?

The weekday section of Nishiyamato Gakuen is a so-called full-day Japanese school. Since it is a private school, it relies only on tuition fees and there is no teacher dispatch from the Ministry of Education, so it seems to be difficult to manage.

Is Wilson popular ？
My second daughter has been a GE in Kinder since August and Wilson is the only one who hasn't heard anything, so I contacted them last weekend and they said they haven't sent out notices to anyone yet and
They said they still have openings and they can send out accept notices within the next week and no one will be denied. I was told that there is a SPACE that will not be deny.
I was told that Wilson, Waikiki, and Kahala are easy to get into these days, and Manoa, Noelani, Hokulani, and Nuuanu are popular because of their rising academic standards ！
However, it seems that only the top 1% of the top students at Punahou and Iolani can get in from public schools. According to Tutor, my oldest daughter.
Well, it's free education, but I wonder what the teachers are teaching if there is such a gap with private schools.
According to Tutor, it is not because they are private schools ！ but because there are only a few private schools that can provide the level of education required to enter Punahou or Iolani
and to enter those private schools is a very high level entrance exam.
My oldest daughter will be in the 5th grade in August, and she is also a Tutor, but since it is a public school, it is difficult to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you are in the top 1%
I am thinking about Midpac or Secret Heart.

From my experience, even from the public elementary schools, they have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani. Everyone I know from the 6th grade, including me, has been accepted to both schools. The average number of students who go to private schools seems to be 2 or 3 per grade because there are not many students who take the exam from public schools. I've been reading the posts here and there is a great air of not being able to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you went to a feedin school, so just FYI.

やはりパブリックからだとプナホウ、イオラニどころかプライベート自体に行く子が2〜３人しかいないんですね！
luluさんのお子さんは、その１%なんですよ！
優秀で羨ましいです！
このトピ見てからプライベート受験について学校に聞きに行きました。やはりうちの子はプナホウ、イオラニに受かる学力ではないようです　笑
本当にパブリックからはMontessori やHanahau’oli
のように9割プナホウとかとは違って難しいようです。
学校側もMontessori やHanahau’oli は独自の教育法でプナホウ、イオラニに進学率を伸ばしているから、パブリックとは違う、とハッキリ言われました。
仰る通りです！と納得でした。
我が家は受験するかどうかから練り直し！
子供に相応しいレベルを見極める良いきっかけになりました！

I took the Punahou ・ Iolani ・ mid-pack Kinder exam this year and got wiped out. Kinder exams are fierce competition.
I plan to go to one of the above public kinder in GE. I have heard that some people have gone to Punahou ・ Iolani even from public schools, which gives me hope. Thank you.
But cram school and Tutor are essential. I will try my best to try again ！.

I applied to both Hana Hau'oli and MCS this year and had no connections at all.
I am currently attending St. Clements from the age of 3 and wanted to start my child at Hana Hau'oli or MCS from the age of 4, so I was not sure if I would be accepted to both schools.
After numerous questions at orientations and with admissions staff at both schools, we decided to enroll her at MCS.
The criterion for our choice was still the percentage of students going from the middle to the TOP 2.
We are not considering taking the Kinder exam because we want to
be clear about our child's skills and our child's intentions as to what our child wants to do, learn, future possibilities, etc. when he/she enters Middle.
I am not sure if Kinder will be able to identify the strengths of my child since both Punahou and Iolani schools have their own strengths.
Hana Hau'oli also had a good school culture and a high rate of students going to Punahou, but the school culture was more connected and the actual rate of students going to the top 2 middle schools in recent years was
higher at MCS.
We are excited about the Montessori education at MCS.
The admissions staff and school staff are very kind and honest, and the teachers seem to be of a high caliber, as they must have not only teaching credentials but also Montessori teaching credentials
to be able to teach.
I am still enrolled in the school from August, so I hope to share more details as they become available.

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.

I entered the country in October 2018, applied for a green card with Adjustment of Status from ESTA in November, and received my green card in the mail shortly after my marital interview in July 2019 at the Honolulu office of USCIS in downtown Honolulu.
We got married in 2016, so we did not enter the country under ESTA and get married.
We lived in Japan until then.
After I applied, I received a confirmation of receipt by text message, not by email. There was no confirmation of receipt by letter.

I was also worried about the Adjustment of Status from ESTA because I had seen many posts on the Internet that it was not impressive, but I was not asked anything about my ESTA entry at the interview.
You don't need to worry about that, because the 90-day period of stay will no longer apply once you enter the country under ESTA and the Adjustment of Status screening begins at USCIS.
Rather, you are not allowed to leave the U.S. during the examination, so you will have to submit the documents to request temporary departure permission during the application process. My husband called USCIS first, explained the situation, asked for all the necessary documents, and then submitted them all.
He said that he called USCIS and they were very helpful.
Since it is USCIS that reviews the application, why don't you contact USCIS ？.

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.

Supplement.
I wrote that I entered the country in October 2018, applied for a green card with Adjustment of Status from ESTA in November 2018, and received my green card in the mail shortly after my couple interview in July 2019 at the Honolulu office of USCIS downtown, but I remember I remembered that I received instructions for fingerprinting in December 2018, so I made an appointment in January 2019 and had my photo taken and fingerprints taken at the Honolulu office of USCIS. The photo and fingerprints taken at that time were used on my green card.

First of all, Mr. HALE has already completed your application ？
Do you know which documents you submitted and all the document names ？ Do you keep copies of the documents you submitted ？
#9, Koji wrote "I- 131, Application for Travel Document, and you cannot leave the U.S. until the authorization document is returned to you.

"What should I do next ？?" but if you have submitted the documents and USCIS has received them, then you will have to wait.
In my case, after mailing the documents, I just had to wait for instructions.
If USCIS has received the documents, I think the next step is to have your fingerprints taken and a photo taken, as long as the documents are complete and everything goes smoothly.

Six years ago, my husband submitted his paperwork by mail. We mailed them with a check for the application fee.
If the check has been cashed and debited from the bank, then I believe the documents have been received by USCIS and the review process has begun.

I applied in 2018 so at that time there was no online submission option and I submitted my documents by mail.
Mr. hale did you file online ？ did you file by mail ？
https://www.uscis.gov/i-130
If you did online filing, you can check your case status. If you filed online, it says you can check your case status online, so you can check the status of your application yourself.

The estimated processing times for the I-130 are available on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

There is also a website where those who have filed green card applications with USCIS report their progress.
