Mulboyne wrote:An article in the Sankei (Japanese) says that a group of Japanese women are campaigning to make it easier to revoke the permanent residency of their foreign husbands. The women have been victims of domestic violence and are unsettled that their former partners are free to live in Japan because they believe this condemns them to live in fear. One Niigata woman says she has evidence that her husband lied on his permanent residency application since it appears he already had a family at home. She says she doesn't know what he is up to when he is in Japan and wants his PR revoked and for him to be refused re-entry into Japan. Since the system of revoking PR was formalized in 2004, there have been three such cases nationwide. The Tokyo Immigration Bureau says that it is time-consuming to investigate whether forged documents have been used in an application. The Sankei suggests that these procedures need to be reviewed.
He already has a family. WTF does that mean? Is that a runabout way of saying he is married or are they trying to suggest that someone who has children but is not married is ineligible.
