Q. What is the meaning of postcards and envelopes from the Immigration Office? Dec 04, 2018

Q. What is the meaning of postcards and envelopes from the Immigration Office?

A. There are various patterns, so be careful.

It is announcement from the Immigration office which informs of the result, in waiting after applying visa.
However, there are rough patterns in good news and bad news.
I will explain about how to see it and how to deal with it.


A. For "extension" and "change"

1, Postcard coming by Ordinary mail

A postcard coming with ordinary mail (which you write yourself at the time of application) is a sign of permission.

Looking at the back side, additionally not writing anything, not sticking the seal, it is perfect.

Please go to the Immigration Office till the deadline the post card says.

Sometimes, there is a possibility that only the contact point has been changed for the permission of the special period (over the visa period, but because the petition is underway and the visa is valid for maximum 2 months).


2, postcard came by Registered mail

This is a postcard that often can not be relieved.
Look at the back side, if something is written with a ballpoint pen, please be careful if there is a sticker on it.

Especially, if it is specified the date and time and are called to the counseling counter, the possibility of "denial" is high.
(In Shinagawa Immigration Office, a counter called "--5 counter"(A5,B5,C5,D5), counters with 5 is a counseling counter)

However, if it says whether everything is not allowed, it is not so.
Occasionally it may be permitted through an interview at the Immigration Office.

When the date and time are specified, please be sure to consult with an expert lawyers beforehand!

However, if it says whether everything is not allowed, it is not so.

When the date and time are specified, please be sure to consult with an expert lawyers beforehand!

In case your extension application denial, if you go to the designated date and time, you will be instantly converted to a specific activity visa for departure preparation.
(If you refuse to change it will be overstayed and will be accommodated ...)

Usually, the specific activity visa for this departure preparation will be granted only for 30 days, so it means that there is no time to re-apply for the next chance.

Moreover, the interview done at the designated date and time is an interview notified of the reason for the denial, but here you can ask a question.

Through this question, what kind of doubt was Visa not permitted? You will explore where you are likely to be permitted.
If you do not have any knowledge here, you do not know what you are talking about, and you often end up with not being able to ask anything.

Even though it is a great opportunity to talk to the judge officer, if you miss this, you will be reluctant to reapply.
So, when an unauthorized postcard comes, you should always consult with an expert and listen to the attitude of the interview before going to an interview.

"When a postcard arrives by Registered mail ... Call a specialist !!"

Please remember.


3, the Envelope by Ordinary mail (Registered mail).

The envelope from the Immigration Office has two patterns.

a) Documents requesting additional materials

Although the Immigration Office begins the judgment, they may ask for additional materials when it can not be judged only with the submitted documents.
Especially, how long do you work as a part-time, when you apply an extension for your student visa.

When seeking this material, it is the stage of questionable one whether to accept or not.

So it is dangerous to submit only the materials required for the Immigration Office without any thought!!

Which conditions under laws are calling for the Immigration Office? While imagining writing additional materials, sometimes it is necessary to add unsolicited materials as well.

Again, it is often better to consult experts.
Please carefully pay attention when creating additional materials by yourself.


b) It contains a notice of non-permission

When applying for change (or permanent residence application), there may be a notice of non-permission.
(In the case of extension, at the time when extension is disallowed, it becomes doubtful about the visa you currently have, so it is supposed to be referred to as the Immigration Office.

Although the reason is written in the disapproval notice, it is common that it is very simple and meaningless reasons are written according to the law.
It is not a good idea to judge by this alone.

In case you come to ask the reasons in detail, there is something like that please call me here, so please make a reservation at your convenient time.

And, although I also mention the above , please contact the experts before going to face-to-face meetings!
Analysis of the reason for refusal is a very important point for reapplying.


B Application for COE(certification of eligibility)

In the case of a COE application, additional materials can also be enveloped, and there are many cases where they come with a registered envelope in case of a denial.

So, as you thrill, you will open the envelope.

Please contact the experts in case of additional materials or a denial.
Of course, if there is permission, there is a COE paper, so please send it to the person in a foreign country and receive a visa at the Japanese embassy before entering the country.

If the applicant with a short-term visa apply a COE application, COE is permitted successfully, and the applicant is still in Japan, he/she can apply for change by attaching the COE.

As above, I analyzed the patterns of postcards coming from the Immigration Office, ordinary mail of envelopes, registered mail.
If you have any concerns, be sure to consult experts.
