Client Testimonial｜From “Almost Giving Up” to Securing a 3-Year Visa on the First Try

This is a testimonial from a client who requested our assistance with a new Spouse Visa application.

	Client (from Google Review)
	Request: New application for a Spouse Visa (initial filing)

Despite the challenging situation of having just returned from overseas and being unemployed, the team kindly provided detailed advice from the inquiry stage. As a result, I was able to obtain a 3-year Spouse Visa in less than one month from the initial application.

After reading general information online, I almost gave up many times, but I am truly glad that I decided to consult ACROSEED. I would like to continue relying on them for future renewals as well.

Although I live outside the metropolitan area, I would strongly recommend ACROSEED to anyone applying for a visa, regardless of location.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Miyagawa and Mr. Matsumoto for their prompt and compassionate support despite their busy schedules.
