[Dependent Visa Approval Case] Work Visa Holder Invites Spouse from Overseas

Case Overview｜Work Visa Holder Invites Spouse to Japan on a Dependent Visa

In this case, a person residing in Japan on a work visa consulted us in order to invite their spouse, who was living overseas, to Japan on a dependent visa (Certificate of Eligibility). Although document preparation took considerable time, we organized the overall situation, prepared supporting documents and clarified the content of the explanation letters, which ultimately led to the approval of the application.

• Status of Residence: Work visa (supporter residing in Japan)
• Consultation: Obtaining a dependent visa for the spouse (invitation from overseas)
• Main Concerns: Anxiety over a long-running procedure and worry after being told it might be “difficult” or “impossible”
• Our Support: Situation analysis and organization → Preparation of supporting documents → Drafting clear explanation letters → Accompanying/support for filing and submission

Customer Experience｜We Were Saved by the Words “Let’s Work on This Together”

This is a testimonial from a customer who consulted and entrusted us with the process of inviting a spouse to Japan on a dependent visa.

	Customer (Korean national / dependent of work visa holder)
	Request: Obtaining a dependent visa for the husband (invitation from overseas)

When I received the news that my husband’s dependent visa had been approved, I was truly overjoyed. Knowing that we would finally be able to live together in Japan brought me great relief. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Miyagawa and everyone at ACROSEED.

The application process took more than one year, starting from last August. Even so, ACROSEED continued to adjust their approach according to the circumstances and supported us without giving up, which is why the visa was successfully approved in the end. They gave very detailed advice on how to prepare the documents and how to structure our explanations, down to the finer points, which helped us a great deal.

There were times when I felt anxious because other people told me that the case was “difficult” or that it might be “impossible”. In those moments, Mr. Miyagawa stood on our side and said, “Let’s work on this together. It will be alright.” Those words really saved me, and I was very moved by the emotional support we received in addition to the technical guidance.

Above all, I am extremely satisfied with the result that my husband’s visa was approved. Thank you very much for supporting us all the way through to this outcome.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.
