[Approved Case] Obtaining a Spouse of Japanese National Visa After Denial | Client Testimonials VOL.157

Case Overview | Approval of “Spouse of Japanese National” Through Reapplication After Denial

In this case, the applicant’s self-filed Spouse of Japanese National Visa application was denied. Even after receiving an explanation of the reasons from Immigration, they were unable to determine how to respond and felt anxious about reapplying. After organizing the reasons for denial and restructuring the supporting documents and explanations, the application was approved upon reapplication. This was also a highly challenging case involving a change of status from Temporary Visitor to a long-term visa while staying in Japan.

Client Experience | “They Supported Our New Start After a Denial”

	Mr. K (China)
	Request: Obtaining a Spouse of Japanese National Visa after denial

I believed I could apply for the spouse visa on my own, but several months later, a denial letter arrived from the Immigration Bureau. I reread it many times in disbelief, but it clearly stated “Denied.” Even after visiting Immigration and hearing the explanation, I had no idea how to fix the issues and felt completely hopeless.

After researching visa applications online, I realized that handling this alone would be extremely difficult. I visited several local and Tokyo-based visa offices, but some lacked expertise and reliability, while others demanded unreasonably high fees.

After visiting many offices in anxiety, I finally found Professor Miyagawa at ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office, whom I could truly trust.

Professor Miyagawa sincerely understood the distress both of us were experiencing. He carefully explained the reasons for the denial and clearly advised us on what steps to take next. Thanks to his accurate guidance and extensive experience, our application was successfully approved. Since this involved a change to a long-term visa while staying in Japan on a Temporary Visitor status, it was an extremely difficult application. Without approval, my spouse and I would have been forced to live apart.

Through this experience, I learned that visa applications are filled with anxiety and hardship, and that having a professional who responds with genuine care—not just administrative processing—is truly essential.

I am deeply grateful to Professor Miyagawa for all his support. Thank you very much.

Summary of Spouse of Japanese National Visa Approval Cases

Who Can Benefit from This Case

When reapplying after a denial, it is essential to accurately identify why the application was denied, and to reorganize supporting documents and explanations according to the points Immigration focuses on (such as the authenticity of the marriage, cohabitation and financial unity, and consistency of explanations). This becomes even more critical when a change from Temporary Visitor status is involved, as the accuracy of preparation directly affects the outcome.

• Those whose spouse visa application was denied and do not know how to proceed with reapplication
• Those who received an explanation for denial but cannot determine what needs to be corrected
• Those considering a change from Temporary Visitor status and wishing to proceed cautiously
• Those who value a compassionate and reliable professional rather than price alone
