Dangerousness of self-interpretation


Dangerousness of self-interpretation

I got a question like this.

“I live in ×××.
I have spouse visa until 2019-3-4.
Now I divorced.
I should change my visa to business visa.”

“When did you divorce?” I asked to him.
He said, “Two years ago”.

This is the end of the story.

He did not report the fact of divorce to Immigration office when he divorced.
Under current rule, even if his visa is valid until 2019, once he divorces, his visa will be canceled within 6 months.

His mistake comes from his self-interpretation that even if he divorced, he can continue staying here until expiration.

He can’t change his status to business visa, because he is overstay now.

He should have changed his visa within 6 months after he divorced 2 years ago.

There’s nothing that can be done about it now.

Please be careful about it.

Thank you.

Predicting the Future by checking the Past

This explanation is bit abstract.

For example, suppose if you are a college graduate.

You are applying for working visa now.

However, immigration office asks you about overtime illegal working when you were a student.

In this case, even if there is no problem about working visa, you will have a problem because of your past activity, and in the end, your application might be in fail.

This is what I wanted to say in this video.
