We had our COEs approved (yay!) and are preparing our visa applications through DC and page 2 of the form has me a little concerned because it asks for your "guarantor or reference in Japan."
For background, our gyoseishoshi advised that I could serve as guarantor for my spouse and kids because my uncle is my guarantor. By contrast, had my cousin been my guarantor, I could not serve as guarantor for my family unless I lived there first…does this sound familiar to anyone?
Anyway, I'm trying to pull the visa applications together and learned that if it's rejected, we can't apply for 6 months and am just trying to confirm this is something that can be done, because I am all kinds of mixed up. I have an email out to her but I'd love to hear from people with direct experience in this situation.
