Client Story|From a Hopeless Situation to Approval
|
Mr./Ms. I (Nigeria) |
| Request: Obtaining a Spouse of Japanese National visa after refusal |
About a year ago, I applied for a spouse visa on my own without really understanding the process, and it was refused. After that, I went alone to an interview at the Immigration Bureau, but I had no idea what to do next, and I was in a situation where the only word that came to mind was “despair.”
At that time, I found ACROSEED online and decided to consult them. Gathering the application materials was honestly difficult, but the professionals carefully organized what the issues were and showed me the direction step by step, which allowed me to move forward.
As a result, the reapplication was approved in just one attempt. Now I am living happily in Japan with my husband. I am truly grateful.
In the future, I would also like to ask for your help when it comes time for renewal or applying for permanent residence.
Staff Comment|After a Refusal, Calm Analysis Is Key
In consultations after a refusal, in most cases the applicant has already made a sincere effort. However, if you reapply without clearly understanding what the real issues are in the screening, it is not uncommon to repeat the same outcome.
At ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office, we objectively analyze the reasons for refusal and clearly identify “what to strengthen, why, and how,” before proceeding with the reapplication. Our role is to show the route that brings you closer to approval in the shortest possible way.
Who This Case Is Helpful For
Even if a Spouse of Japanese National visa is refused on the first application, it may still be possible to obtain approval through a reapplication by accurately identifying the refusal reasons and rebuilding the explanation and supporting evidence. This case is a helpful example of rebuilding from a situation where, after an interview, you “don’t know what the problem is” or “can’t see what to do next.”
- If your Spouse of Japanese National visa application was refused and you are considering reapplying
- If you are struggling to decide what to do next after an Immigration Bureau interview
- If the refusal notice is abstract and you cannot see what needs to be fixed
- If your documents and explanations are scattered and you are worried about timeline consistency and coherence
- If you want to rebuild the proof of your relationship and financial stability in a more persuasive way
* Reapplications after a refusal can lead to the same result if the cause is misunderstood. Organizing the refusal reasons and prioritizing the improvement points are essential first steps.
