Client Story｜An Honest Assessment and Encouragement Helped Us Move Forward

	Mr./Ms. N (Nigeria)
	Request: Obtaining a Spouse of a Japanese National visa after a refusal

We received a refusal for our spouse visa, and we had less than one month left until the expiration of the current visa.

We contacted many administrative scrivener offices, but each one told us different things. We did not know what was correct. In the end, the last website we carefully read was ACROSEED’s website.

Mr. Miyagawa, who handled our case, was extremely sincere from the free consultation stage. The main reason we felt he was more trustworthy than any other office we contacted was, above all, his character.

Mr. Miyagawa did not only tell us what we wanted to hear. He honestly explained that our situation was a very difficult case, and clearly told us what we should do from there.

We decided we wanted to ask ACROSEED to help us because of this sincere approach.

We believed that we could only entrust this important visa application to someone we could truly trust. That is how important this issue was for us.

As we hoped, Mr. Miyagawa was quick yet thorough in his support. Even after filing, he advised us that “this is an important time,” and he also encouraged us by email.

As a result, we received notice of approval in less than one month from the filing date.

I will never forget the day Mr. Miyagawa informed us of the approval. This was all thanks to him. We are also sincerely grateful to everyone at ACROSEED. And we would like to express our thanks to the Immigration Bureau staff who granted the approval.

People in a situation like ours may be unsure about what to rely on first. We were the same. But we can sincerely say that trusting ACROSEED and asking for their help was the right decision.

Mr. Miyagawa, thank you very much.

We will continue to support Mr. Miyagawa and everyone at ACROSEED in the future.
