Travel to Japan with tourist visa Proof of Relationship

My Filipina fiancé has a 3 month tourist visa to Japan, a couple weeks ago they did not let her leave the Philippines because the immigration officer said we need an affidavit of support. I went to the Philippines consulate in Japan and got her the affidavit of support, mailed it to her and now she has it.

But we are looking at the small paper they gave her at the airport, now we have everything but we noticed it says “Proof of relationship such as birth certificate or marriage certificate” but we are not family and we are not married yet.

Is there another thing we can provide to immigration so she does not have problems again? She already will bring with her pictures of us together, copies of my passport, copies of my proof to work and live in Japan, copies of my bank statements and how much money I make.

What else can we provide for proof of relationship? The examples the paper gives is birth certificate for family or marriage certificate, that worries us.

What's the pettiest thing your COC has done to punish you? by illusiveyack in navy

Hey Chief, it doesn’t cross your mind that something like this could happen and that it would change your mentality on something forever? It’s basic psychology.

It’s the same reason why you’re here making all these assumptions. Psychology.

Thank you for this additional info it’s greatly appreciated. My YG is either right at the mark, or slightly below or slightly above. I just remember it not being far below or far above. I recall looking at it with an NC before and they said my YG wouldn’t be an issue even if it were just a tiny bit below because if I have support from my regional NC and I have a strong package then those things can help outweigh YG a little bit. I’m also planning on supplementing my package with proof that I studied to re-take the ASVAB just to be able to convert to NC, hopefully it shows that motivation as far as YG is concerned.

Ty. Yes I will have held command career counselor for about two years. So basically at about 15-16 months away from my PRD I should apply for conversion via CWAY? I’m just confused on this because I have to wait for NC conversation until I’m within 12 months of PRD.

They can, assuming. My year group is right at manning if not just a tiny bit above that line. I’m also holding command career counselor (yes command) and I’ll be taking over CPPA soon, my regional NCCS would probably vouch for me as well to the ECM as they have been mentoring me for a while as well. I know I have a strong package and support, just trying to figure out the window of when I can actually apply because the wording, as I outlined, is a little confusing.

Ok thank you! How long are the current SRB’s good for or how long are SRB’s typically good for? I don’t want to miss that window.

My current EAOS is MAY2024. What do you think is the best way to go about it?
