I think you should take a look at the situation. In reality, there have been some international students who have had their student visas suspended because of traffic violations.

It seems that you cannot feel safe just because you have a permanent residence visa.

I don't know what the current administration is thinking.

I am a person who came back from Japan this week.

We used the Global Entry app to enter the country and were able to enter in an instant without being told anything.

There is a lot of confusing information out there.

If you are worried, I think getting a GE will alleviate some of the extra worry.

I created Global Entry a few years ago. I don't remember exactly at the time, but a few weeks after I applied, I received an email to schedule an interview, and I was only available six months or more in advance at the earliest. I received my card a few weeks after the interview. It takes time. But as I recall, if you traveled before you had an interview and got your card, you could have an interview at the airport where you were traveling or at the airport in Hawaii when you got back from your trip. I believe there was a list of airports where interviews were available.
The interview itself asked almost nothing that I don't remember, it was an interview for my card, but my husband and kids went into the office together. It was more like paperwork, showing passports, taking mugshots and fingerprints.

＊ Not an industry expert ＊ but I am a member of AAA Insurance.

I've had a few bumps and bruises and have had no problems.

The AAA office near my house has a Japanese speaking agent, but his Japanese is terrible.

So I asked them to replace him with someone who speaks only English. Well, I had to ask a random person

because AAA doesn't allow you to choose who is in charge.

I chose an agent who could speak Japanese
for my health insurance, Medical Insurance, or something like that because I thought there would be no problem, but he seemed to be Japanese-American and I could not understand what he was saying
in Japanese at all. I had no choice but to switch to an English only agent and everything went smoothly.

Why do you bother going through an agency? ？ I think it is usually cheaper to submit your own quotes to each company.

In the event of an accident, an agency is useless, so I don't need one.

Old woman, well, don't be angry...
Your sons graduated from college, didn't they? ？ Education then and now are completely different, and the world is a different place....
You don't have to tell them that you graduated from IVY...

I think what you are saying is the reality of the current Punahou and Iolani Kinder exams.
In fact, my daughter did the IQ test for the Kinder exam last year, and both Iolani and Punahou can attach to the application if they have taken the IQ test.
It is written properly in the Admissions section of the school.
What Topi is saying is useful information for current applicants.
In the past, there would not have been IQ tests, and the content of the Kinder exam would have been different. The schools would have educated the students differently.
Times have moved on.　When the old lady was a student, there would have been no cell phones, electric cars, or computers.
I hired a Tutor and sent my daughter to a private school to take the Kinder exam. Now it is very difficult because the level to get into Kinder is so high, and the odds are so high.
Both schools do IQ tests on 5 year olds in individual tests, and they also observe the children's cooperation in group tests, etc., and the kids with the highest overall level get in.
Punahou even started interviewing parents who are taking the Kinder exam this year. High level children plus family quality and interest in the child's education are thoroughly checked at both schools. Your child is already an adult, right?　The Kinder Exam topic should only be seen by those who need it now or in the future.

Thank you ＃ 1
Kinder Exam Tutor with 21 years of experience for your topic, and thank you for the detailed information.
I am the mother of a 4 year old who is about to submit an application for Kinder this August.
I heard from the same pre-prep who took the test last year that both Punahou and Iolani have an IQ test. Punahou also started interviewing parents this year
The school is changing a lot. In fact, before submitting my application, I tried to check with Punahou, Iolani, and Mid-Pacific
about their tests, but I still couldn't get the details, but I found out that Punahou has a parent interview on the day of the individual test, Punahou's group test is
preschool style, and Mid-Pacific's group test is preschool style. Punahou has a parent interview on the day of individual testing, Punahouiolani's group testing is preschool style, and Mid-Pacific does not have individual testing （ IQ testing ） but only one test
where they observe children playing in a group setting.
It must be hard to gather information when you have been tutoring for kinder exams for 21 years. I really appreciate the information you provide.
It's depressing to think that the exam year will begin in August with the submission of applications, individual tests, group tests, and acceptance announcements, which is more than 6 months and 8 months. I hope I can enjoy it and get through it and have a smile on my face this time next year.

Old woman,
you were born with it, and #1 is talking about IQ.
IQ doesn't change.
You may have raised two sons and have a lot of time on your hands, but you can't just pick up a single word from a source that has young children who are about to take an entrance exam and say, "I was born this way. 668>
You don't have any more children to join Kinder, so please look in again when you have grandchildren or something.

#1 and #3, please get them involved too …

I woke up in the middle of the night and read it.
I am a parent with a child who is about to take the Kinder exam.
I used to wonder ？ what makes a 4 and 5 year old pass or fail the Kinder exam ？. I heard from a senior mom that the key is how early you can get your child to take the Kinder test by tutoring or cramming for the Kinder exam. I heard that both Punahou and Iolani have individual exams administered by specialists outside of the school. That is the IQ test. I agree that Punahou Iolani wants kids with high IQ and concentration because they can't keep up in class .
It is true that if students have different IQs, there will be a difference in the academic ability of students like in public schools, and some students will not be able to understand the class at all. Punahouiolani draws the line so that this does not happen.

My family's first choice is Punahou, but
Punahou is said to be going up dramatically in the last few years in terms of academics, one of which is that they started interviewing parents for the Kinder exam this year and the SSAT for the Middle exam is 5% higher than at Iolani. I heard from a tutor that there were over 600 students who took the Kinder exam this year …. The hardest schools are the popular ones … you just have to work hard ！.

I took the Kinder exam this year and didn't make it to Punahou or Iolani. I was reading this topic and it made a little more sense.
My daughter started preparing for the Kinder exam right after she started 3 years old pre. I enrolled her in a tutoring program and sent her to an IQ tutoring program in Kahala. Even though I taught her at home with her, it took her a while to understand, and halfway through, she would throw a tantrum saying she wouldn't ！ do it ！ and that she didn't want to do it . She is an only child, so she is a little selfish, and that may have come out in the group sessions. Punahou and Iolani also seemed to watch the child's concentration and attitude in the group sessions. When I made appointments with the schools after the rejection, they told me that my attitude and concentration were not as good as those of the children who were accepted.

In retrospect, I think my daughter did not have the IQ to keep up with the Punahou and Iolani classes. This is just the way it is.
I think it is too early to say, but I think she will have to reach middle school level to be able to catch up with her academic ability through hard work.　Good luck to those who are going to take the Kinder exam ！.

It's a long time ago, but if it's true, it's just like you. I was divorced after 7 years from a one-parent financial support and a lazy husband who thought he would lose money if I moved, well, it was hard after that. If you marry the wrong person and have children, your life is as good as over.
I still get nauseous when I talk. I wish I would die soon. Children miss you no matter what you do to them. Maybe they are even more dependent on being abused. I wish you a new life, though it is hard work.

I too think it is against the rules to speak ill of a mother to her children.　It's morally harassing ！

To add a little to your opinion #11, I'd like to think that a woman's happiness isn't determined by her husband.　I can certainly say from my own experience that a bad partner can get in the way of happiness 😂

I think children always want their mothers to be happy. I think it is from mothers that children learn mental strength.　I hope your children have a future where they don't say that a woman's happiness is determined by her husband.

In another topic, Manhattan, I
found out how much cheaper and easier to live in Hawaii compared to NY.

A friend of mine moved to Hawaii from NY a few years ago and
said that popular condos with similar location and age
$ 1500 were cheaper than NY. At the time Waikiki $ 2100/NY $ 3600
So it's the same for purchase.
I was really glad
that property tax and HOA were much cheaper in Hawaii than in NY.
Hawaii has a great climate and a lot of Japanese food, so it is really a blessed environment.
Now if only the security situation would improve, I would be able to live in Hawaii with peace of mind.

#28 H Dear Mr.

I am fully remote from my mainland company, have a modest annual income, and moved to Hawaii from another state with a lower cost of living.

One hassle is that I have to do two state tax returns, one in the state where I work and one in Hawaii.
Even after paying state taxes in two states, Hawaii is more relaxed because the fixed costs are much lower.

If you get a job with a mainland company and live in Hawaii, as Mr. H said, you will have a very comfortable life.
If you are having a hard time living in Hawaii, I recommend you to get a job with a company in the mainland.

I'm on the rich side, but still, one person's power cannot save the whole society.
I think everyone should be paid the same amount of money, whether they are cleaning, caring, major leaguers, or politicians, and I wish society would change so that everyone could be equally rich, but it's difficult because people have "greed" and society is based on power relations.

Hi ！
I am in the exact same situation, I have been in Hawaii for 11 years, my husband is from Boston and has been in Hawaii for 13 years, and we took the Jr. Kinder test last year and were waitlisted.
The first announcement of waitlist was made in early April this year and it did not come back.
I was informed last September that there were only 3 spots available to fill up from 27 Jr. Kinder to 30 kinda nder, and I received an email to reconfirm that I would still be on waitlist even though I had 3 spots. I think that the children who were accepted to Punahou and Iolani Kinder will be added to the waitlist, so there is a big possibility that they will be added to the waitlist after the Punahou and Iolani results (both were last week) and 5/9 is the deadline for enrollment at both schools, but I think the total number of spots will be around 5 spots.
Hanahauwoo Hana Hau'oli is honest on their website that they give preference to those who are working at Legacy or Hana Hau'oli.
Also, the kids who passed Jr. Kinder this year were donating to Hana Hau'oli.
Also, every year, 2 or 3 kids who passed Hana Hau'oli Jr. kinder also apply for deffered admission to Punahouiolani while securing a spot in kinder, and if they don't make it, they enter Hana Hau'oli from kinder.
By the way, there are 37 people on waitlist since last year, and since there are only 3 spots, it will be tough without waitlist connections.

I also had to start the renewal process from 2 years to 10 years, and initially we were going to do it ourselves, but we decided to ask our lawyer.

I think you should only hire a lawyer if you have to wait very long for something to happen or if you are in trouble.

I didn't want people to think that my renewal was so complicated and difficult that I needed a lawyer

I entered everything myself, so I received my renewed green card

twice for 2 years and twice for 10 years, totaling 3 times very quickly.

I tend to receive my green cards in

less time than using an attorney because of the busyness and timing of the attorney I use.
