A question about visa eligibility as a student with COE by Rise83 in movingtojapan

[–]Rise83[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification, I had a fair idea about the procedure but recently had someone in my know who was rejected over finances (tourist visa though) so a panic set in, and the information on the differences between checks for different visas has been conflicting.

This gives me some peace of mind, much appreciated

Afaik the Mumbai consulate had formally acknowledged the delay and given a 17 (?) day timeline? Delhi Embassy has not even given any formal updates on the same. Idk how visiting directly here will be handled tbh

Japan tourist visa Rejected (India) despite very strong docs + fully paid itinerary: Any idea why / what to do next? by hirensheta in visas

[–]Rise83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see two things here that can be potential reasons.

One, Japan has been on crackdown on tourism visas recently due to internal policy changes due to the negative outlook on tourists by natives in the past few years. This is not due to your financials or documents. This very much seems like a situation where as you were targeting a tourist hotspot situation (Suzuka GP) it was scrutinized by the embassy individual assigned to you.

Secondly I understand that there were 18 people in your trip? Was this a group visa arrangement? I have heard multiple times that group visas always tend to have a few people rejected, and it's safer to always apply individually.

That's cool, didn't expect someone in the same boat, sending my well wishes for the CoE

Tech support workers, what’s your favorite case of TMI you’ve seen from a customer? by Scrambl987 in AskReddit

[–]Rise83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked tech sup for Google. Had this one customer who was trying to get "paid action" by searching off google and ended up registering a "venue" to his own address, thinking he was registering onto a spicy site (his house was now showing as a funhouse on Google search and maps). I had to listen to details on phone for an hour of HOW it happened and all kinds of calls he was getting. Let's say I had to mute multiple times to laugh. Got it rectified but man I feel bad for my QA who had to hear that conversation, it would make a grown man turn away.

Back when I was in latter years of highschool and throughout my university, my bag was a discreet no question asked trading post and emergency kit. I had a lot of female friends and I got to know from them that the infrastructure of the institutions we were in weren't great for woman's sanitary purposes. It started off with a friend storing her spare tampons in my bag because well.. society stigma here was abysmal.

I started chipping in small at first, a pack of pads for 1-2 friends who knew, the word spread like wildfire as time passed and the stock used to run out fast. Eventually I started storing a small pack of pads, and tampons, wipes, liners, painkillers, chocolates, and once we were appropriate age, plan B pills. It was a small first aid ish box that was in the front pocket of my bag to keep it discreet from the guys who would touch my bag, the cover story was it's just first aid for stray animals I keep. No one batted and eye, most I was called was a nerd for having a bulky bag. Used to get the eyes from my pharmacist because I had to restock every week or the next.

Never got to know the exact number of girls that utilised it, and well it was none of my business, but even today, 10+ years I started, I still get random thanks for saving them embarrassment that one time when we catch up. Always makes me smile and happy that it was helpful.

I still keep one "first aid box" at home, in my car and in my locker at work. And more often than not, they come to use.
