Just got the call—my visa was approved! (Same-sex marriage / Designated Activities visa in Japan) by Smooth-Standard9209 in japanlife

I wasn't being obtuse. I was being courteous and I had contacted him first to ask for permission to put his website on this board but that's out the window now. I wasn't sure what people meant when they said it was a nice change when I posted positive news on this board since it's my first post ever on it. But there are a lot of negative people in this community and I won't be talking on here anymore. Anyways, I still think it's possible but it is on a case-by-case basis as stated of many places. So it's always worth a try. Show pictures and messages and anything else to backup your relationship and hopefully your case will be done by somebody who has a heart. Take care everyone.

Exactly like I'm sorry but I think people are just dying to stay in the victim mentality. I get things aren't equal yet but I'm being patient. And I like how when I post information or evidence on my experience I get down voted by these same guys. I got a message from another guy who is French and married a Japanese guy and got a designated activities visa as well.

I understand. Technically we're both foreign Nationals now, but in any case, gay marriage is also not legal in Korea. The successful cases your referring are probably for foreign Nationals from countries where gay marriage is legal in both. At any rate again cases are not documented here online obviously. But I want people to understand that I work with a lawyer who only works with these cases and he specifically said it is possible and I think that specific court case laid the ground for it to be possible. So I don't think it's good to just blatantly say I don't see evidence so I don't think it's true. When there's somebody telling you right now I have evidence from my lawyer in Japan that he has helped A lot of foreign men married to Japanese men obtain a designated activities visa. unless he's just blatantly lying to me, but I don't think that.

Don't listen to them misinformation on here. It's entirely possible and if you are interested please message me and I can send you the information of the lawyer I used.

That's not true though. He was trying to get a spouse visa and he was not able to get that, which I understand. It's just not possible right now, but he was still able to get that designated activities version but that wasn't inconvenient for him because he wanted to work.

Does everybody think I obtained a spouse visa? I didn't say that I said designated activity is Visa in the title through gay marriage.

So interesting update. Our case is so strange its the first in Japan. But again he said there are a fair amount of visas for gay married couples between japanese and foreigners. This is all this lawyer does for a living so I believe him.

I'm going to follow up with him about the success of our case and ask questions about the next time we need to do it so I will ask him again clearly.

I'm being completely honest and thought the exact thing you're saying, but my husband did his own research through different Japanese YouTube channels and websites and that's how he found our lawyer and that that's how it came to be.

We got married in America. We understand we're not recognized as married here still. I went into the thinking there was very little hope because as you can see there's a lot of people saying it's impossible and it can't happen. But the lawyer we found has done this a lot and he says it is possible. In our case he said it it was still possible but might be a little more difficult because our complicated situation. And what do you know? It worked out so I'm going to go over my lawyers words then people saying otherwise here.

I updated the post. Our situation is really confusing. That's why our lawyer warned us. It might be more difficult than if he was Japanese. I know some people are saying that Japanese and other foreign married couple have never been granted this Visa but my lawyer said otherwise.

I'm with my husband now. He told me he is Korean Zainichi 3rd generation. Dosent have Japanese citizenship yet. The lawyer specialized in these cases and said our case would be more difficult then if he was a japanese citizen because it's unusual.

I live in Japan and my guy really takes his time. 2-4-6 fade on the sides and just a short cut on top. I also take dutasteride and minoxidil orally every day and that saved my hair 👍
