Custmer’s Review: Mr. & Ms. Fujisawa / Re-marriage of Filipino & “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”
Masakazu Sugita
Ms. Emmalyn and Mr. Fujisawa came to know about Immigration Lawyer SUGITA International Office hearing good reputation on us from their relatives. We once supported re-marriage procedure and visa change application (from “Temporary Visitor” to “Spouse or Child of Permanent Resident”) of the relatives and successfully got permission. Ms. Emmalyn was in Japan with “Temporary Visitor” visa and she would like to complete re-marry procedure with Mr. Fujisawa and would like to get the status of “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” without coming back to Philippine. But when they come to free consultation meeting with us for the first time, she had not completed annulment of previous marriage / recognition of foreign divorce (ROFD) in Philippine, in other words, she was still married under Filipino law. In addition, she was once deported from Japan because of overstaying.
Considering her past histories and marital status, we prepared proper documents to explain that she was eligible to get married again in Japan based on the laws of both Philippine and Japan and she satisfied all the legal requirements to get the status of “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”. And finally, their marriage in Japan was permitted, and application for changing her status to “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” was permitted.
