[Approved Case] Obtaining “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” After 4 Refusals | Client Testimonial VOL.73

Case Summary｜Approved on the 6th Attempt After Repeated Refusals

In this case, the applicant’s prior overstay history affected the review, and even after repeated applications for status of residence, entry to Japan was not permitted. The application was refused four times in a row before the client consulted our office. The 5th application was also refused, but we persistently rebuilt the application strategy and documentation, and ultimately achieved approval on the 6th application.

Client Story｜Approval After Despair

This is the story of a client (Chinese national) who requested our support.

	Mr./Ms. Qin (China)
	Request: Obtaining “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” after 4 refusals

First, on behalf of myself and my family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and respect to everyone at ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office.

I have been married to a Japanese national for almost five years. Because I previously had an overstay history in Japan, even after applying four times for permission to obtain status of residence in Japan, I was not permitted to enter Japan.

When my spouse and I had reached the point of despair, we encountered ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office. Our representative, Mr. Miyakawa, was very dedicated and worked hard to prepare the application materials. The 5th application was refused, but with the 6th application we were able to obtain approval.

I am not sure what words I should use to express my gratitude. There is only one thing I can say: ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office is truly an office that clients can trust. Thank you very much.
