If we don't reduce the population soon, the earth will be in danger.

It seems that you can't take it for 5 years after you enter the country.

13 Hawaii

I don't think your experiences are mean at all.

I am still giving you the reality and facts.


18 Aloha

Many Japanese women get
government benefits because their husbands are American citizens and divorced.

I think it is totally different from winning a green card.

Where do you get the ＄ 300 per child ？ social security? C&C? on tax return ？ is there an income limit ？ if you know, I would love to know.


Topix ：

I moved to Hawaii as a single mother with 2 children and no one I knew.

You mentioned that your children are 3 and 5 years old, and it may be difficult to travel to the US with children that age unless you have a lot of money or some kind of support (family or relatives living there, etc.).

In Japan, there are many free or low-cost extended day care and childcare services, but in Hawaii, there are no such convenient services, and even if there were, they are impossibly expensive.

Parents must always pick up their children from school, and neighbors will report you if you leave children of that age at home.

I guess it depends on what your job is, but if you are a business owner, investment income, or work from home, you can live with children that age without any problems.

Congratulations on winning the GC ！

If your children are 3 and 5, preschool will be the most expensive
for both of them ～
For pre, check the fees at wakiki community center or other websites. （ I know it's outrageously expensive right now, but I'd hold off until they go to public preschool. Be aware that the school you go to depends on where you live ）

#20 green is right, you can't get any assistance since you haven't paid taxes in the US for 5 years since you got GC.
However, PACH Hawaii can send you a list of licensed babysitters. https://www.patchhawaii.org/

18 years ago, I met a very nice Nepalese and Mongolian woman who could not speak English very well, but she was a very nice person. I had a very nice Nepalese and Mongolian woman watch my children with hers for ＄ 4 an hour for a sitter's fee. （ She was the wife of a UH and university researcher and professor ）
I think it would be
cheaper to leave the two sitters at PACH until they attend kindergarten.
Of course, you will need to pick up and drop off your children until they are in 5th ～ 6th grade.
At that time, you can apply to the school to send your child to school by bus.

Children cannot go to school unless they have a TBtest （ injection ）.
If a child has a fever or is absent from school, a parent or guardian must be present
or the child will be treated as a （ serious ） criminal .
It is safe to allow children to stay alone from the age of 12.

I know it's a lot of work, but if it doesn't work out, you can go back to Japan
and we can work it out.
You have been given a chance, why don't you give it a try ？.

Information regarding the Green Card Lottery winners regarding government assistance for their children
is explained below.

2021 Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit Payments

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/2021-child-tax-credit-and-advance-child-tax-credit-payments-topic-c-calculation-of-the-2021-child-tax-credit

You can receive a payment called the Child Tax Credit from the State （ IRS ）.
If your child is 5 years old or younger, you can receive ＄ 3 ， 600 ． 00 per child, and
from 6 to 17 years old, you can receive ＄ 3 ， 000 ． 00.

You must reside in the U.S. and your income must be less than
＄ 112 ， 500 C$ (annual income) as a single father.

It would be difficult to receive the money this year due to time constraints, but it is possible by entering the US this year
and making your 2021 tax return by April 15 next year.
Of course, the Child Tax Credit still exists after that date, so you can receive it by filing an income tax return
.

You must be a permanent resident of the U.S., file an income tax return, and your child must live with you
and have an active Social Security number.
