[Dependent Visa Approval Case] International Student Invites Spouse from Overseas
Dependent Visa Case for Spouse of International Student
Case Overview|Inviting an Overseas Spouse While Staying in Japan on a Student Visa
In this case, an international student residing in Japan on a student visa consulted us about inviting their spouse, who was still overseas, to Japan on a dependent visa. At the initial consultation, we carefully explained the system and key points for international students sponsoring a spouse, and moved forward while clarifying the required documents, step-by-step process, and expected outlook. During document preparation, our staff checked even the finer details, which led to an approval being granted in a short period of time.
- Status of Residence: Student (sponsor residing in Japan)

- Main Concerns: Difficulty of preparing documents and worry that the procedure might take a long time

Customer (from testimonial) |
| Request: Dependent visa (inviting spouse as an international student) |
I believe the reason we were able to obtain the visa so quickly this time is thanks to Mr. Miyakawa and Ms. Li. At our first consultation at the office, Mr. Miyakawa carefully explained the important points and current situation regarding dependent visa applications for international students, and gave us very practical and helpful advice. His sincere attitude and attention to detail made us feel we could truly trust him, and we decided to retain ACROSEED.
While preparing the documents, there were many things I did not understand, and I called the office many times. Each time, Ms. Li kindly explained everything and clearly instructed me on which documents were needed and what should be improved. She even advised us on “what should be added” and “how much detail was necessary,” which was very reassuring.
Once everything was ready, both Mr. Miyakawa and Ms. Li went through the documents in detail before submitting them to the Immigration Office. We expected the result to take at least one month, but in less than a week we received the message, “Your application has been approved.” We were truly surprised and extremely happy.
I strongly feel that choosing the right immigration lawyer’s office is worth far more than just “killing two birds with one stone.” I can confidently recommend ACROSEED. Finally, I would once again like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Miyakawa and Ms. Li. Thank you very much.

Who Will Find This Case Helpful
For dependent visa examinations where the sponsor is an international student, the student’s enrollment status, outlook for living expenses, and consistency of supporting documents are all important. Even if you feel “I don’t know where to start” or “I’m worried my documents may be insufficient,” many cases can move forward once the order of preparation and the points to strengthen are clearly organized.
