Hello 👋
I’m Hiroshi Kawana, Immigration Lawyer 🙇♂️
🍂 It’s already October, but still warm enough for short sleeves and shorts.
When I was a kid, October meant long sleeves for sure—times are changing.
⚖️ Administrative Procedures and “Unfavorable Results”
The outcome of administrative procedures is not always what you hoped for 😢.
Sometimes, you may face “denial” or other unfavorable decisions.
At that point, one option is to go to court.
Of course, litigation is possible… but 👉 in immigration cases, it’s not always the smartest path.
⏳💰 More Realistic than Lawsuits?
Litigation takes time and money.
Meanwhile, immigration reviews involve a wide range of discretion.
That’s why:
📌 Work to make that discretion favorable to the applicant
📌 Prepare documents and explanations properly
This path often proves more realistic—and more effective.
🛂 Common Cases I Handle
Many clients come to me after:
・Their visa renewal was denied ❌
・Their status change failed, and they received “31 days for departure” ⏳
But with proper action, there’s still a good chance to obtain a new visa 🌟.
🙋♂️ In Conclusion
I’m not denying litigation altogether.
However—
🚫 If the goal is only to overturn a denial, litigation carries high risks.
✅ Finding the best solution within administrative procedures is usually easier and more realistic.
So—don’t worry alone. Reach out, and let’s find the best way forward ✨.
