[Approved Case] From International Marriage Procedures to Spouse of Japanese National Visa Acquisition | Client Testimonial VOL.40

Request Details and Background

	Ms. Asami / Mr. Gao (Chinese nationality)
	Request: International marriage procedures / Spouse of Japanese National visa acquisition

I began dating him while he was staying in Japan as an international student, and for several months we enjoyed very happy times together. However, as his period of stay gradually approached its end, our anxiety about the future became a reality.

At the time, I had not imagined that visa issues would become such a major obstacle. Facing the possibility that he might have to return to China after finishing his studies filled me with anxiety and urgency.

Although I had vaguely considered international marriage before, my feelings of “not wanting to be separated” grew stronger, and I began seriously considering marriage and obtaining a visa.

When we researched the process ourselves, we found that international marriage procedures and spouse visa applications were far more complex than expected. Not knowing where to start, we decided to consult a professional.

I visited ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office together with my mother, and after they listened to us attentively, I felt confident that we could entrust everything to them and formally requested their support.

The administrative scrivener in charge carefully followed up even after submission, including communication with the Immigration Bureau, allowing us to wait for the results with peace of mind.

When we finally received the approval notice, we felt truly relieved. I am deeply grateful that we can now live a normal life together without constant worry about visa issues.
