Client Experience | The Month and a Half After Approval Felt “Like a Dream”

	Mr./Ms. A (China)
	Request: Obtaining a Spouse Visa (COE application) for “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”

[We received feedback from a client for whom we supported the application for a Certificate of Eligibility for “Spouse or Child of Japanese National.”]

It has been a month and a half since Professor Miyagawa handed me the Certificate of Eligibility in person. I apologize for my late message.

My wife came to Japan in early June, and about ten days have passed. Thanks to you, our life in our new home has finally settled down. When I think about how things were about two months ago, it feels like we have been living a dream together. I am filled with gratitude to Professor Miyagawa and everyone at Acroseed.

Looking back to last summer, due to my wife’s special circumstances, we were unsure what we should do and how we could live a normal life together. We felt it would be difficult for us as non-experts, so we searched for various visa-specialist companies, and eventually found Acroseed, a long-established firm with a history dating back to before the visa application proxy system began.

Above all, the fact that the firm has continued operating for 30 years made us believe it had the proven track record and credibility to support us, so we made an appointment and met with Professor Miyagawa.

There was none of the overly deferential manner that can be common in customer service; instead, he explained things clearly, concisely, and logically. Right then and there, we decided that this was the person who truly understood our situation and whom we could trust with our visa application.

After we filed the application, there were times when we felt discouraged and wondered if our wish would never come true, but we decided to keep asking the professor, do what needed to be done, and endure with trust. When we received the call saying the Certificate of Eligibility had arrived, I think I kept saying, “Really? That’s amazing!” over and over (lol).

Professor Miyagawa and everyone at Acroseed, thank you so, so much. We also look forward to your support when it is time to renew the visa.
