The First Thing To Do After She Accepts Your Proposal



After she accepts your proposal, you must think about how she will relocate to your country. And, how will she obtain her visa? What kind of visa will she need? How can you support her financially and emotionally? Moving to a new country is a huge endeavor.



If she needs to relocate to your country, she has to first start obtaining an immigration visa from the immigration office in your country.

Generally, the visa options you need to learn about is as follows in the US.

1. Fiancé Visa
The visa allows you to bring her to your country as a fiancé, and get married in your country. After you are married, then you can start the application for her Permanent Residence Permission (green card) as your wife.

2. Spouse Visa
This option means that you will get married in Japan. Then you apply for the Spouse Visa and her green card at the same time. After she has been approved for the visa and green card, she is allowed to enter your country as your spouse. This process will most likely take longer than obtaining Fiancé Visa.

Note:
Many people write articles about how to obtain immigration visas on their websites or blogs, however it is not a good idea for people who are not immigration lawyers to give legal advice.

Also, immigration laws are constantly changing and are quite complicated. Therefore, we highly recommend for you to follow reliable sources, such as the government and immigration lawyers instead of someone’s personal opinions.

Some men try to bring their fiancé to their country without a proper visa. They believe that it will be OK if she comes with no visa (with a visa waiver program), and let her stay in your country and then get married, and start applying for a permanent residence permission. Actually, this method used to be a very easy way to obtain a green card, although it is legally a gray zone. However, times have changed so that in a current day worst case scenario, your fiancé would be denied to enter your country in the immigration office at the airport. And, she would not be able to return for many years, thereby delaying being able to live with your fiancé in your country. MJL certainly does not recommend this idea as an option.

After she accepts your proposal, we highly recommend that she obtains a proper visa in order to enter your country without any issues or delays. It may take about 6 months or so to obtain a fiancé visa, and you and she will have to wait at a separate location. However, it is the correct, fair, and safe way for both you and her.

If You Say, “I Want to Marry!” Out Loud, It Will Happen!

レーネンさんのハワイから届いたスピリチュアルフレーズ75 幸せになる準備はできています

A friend of mine gave me a book titled “I Am Ready to be Happy” by William Rainen written in Japanese. He is a spiritualist in Hawaii, and he is popular in Japan.




Reading this book made me feel warm and calm! Thank you!

There are some parts which relate to marriage relationships, and I was inspired.

Here is a quote from the book. It is written in Japanese, so the translation is paraphrased.

“If you wish to marry someone, when you meet someone, it is important to honestly say to him or her that I am thinking about being married in the future.”


It does not mean that you want marry him or her. He or she has a choice!


It means that I am looking for a lifelong partner and I am not playing with people. It is very important to keep telling people around you about your desire to be married.


If you are seeing someone that you are not interested in and consider just a date or a penpal, and they understand that you are serious, they would most likely not be interested in you. So, by not following this path, you and he/she do not have to waste each other's valuable time.

On the other hand, if they are also seriously looking for a lifelong partner, and they understand your intentions, the relationship might blossom. Even if they are not interested in you, their friends and relatives will learn that you are looking for a happy marriage, and the happiness might come to you through word of mouth.

When I came to the US to study I was 36 years old and most of my classmates in the ESL class were teenagers or in their early 20's. Because of the age difference I was always hanging around my teachers and professors.

Since I always told them that I would like to find a lifelong partner and live in the US, they often introduced me to their friends for me to date. Fortunately, one of my friends introduced me to a man and I had a wonderful time with him in California. Luckily for me, he is now my husband.

This book says that you can create your own life by manifesting your desires. And it is called affirmation.

It means that you can make your dreams come true by expressing your true desires to other people.


If you are looking for a Japanese woman, and you desire a “Happy Marriage”, you can start by telling people around you, and your dream will come true sooner or later.

MJL is Teaching the Act of Hugging to Japanese Women





 

Here is the picture book that my three year old son loves.

This is really a great book to teach us that a “Hug” is very important for everyone.

Even adults will find this book’s message meaningful!

I think a “Hug” is a great communication habit that western countries should be proud of.
And I admire that many little children learn that a “Hug” is an accepted and important communication tool.


Unfortunately, in Japan, we do not have a “Hug” habit at all. People just don’t touch each other at all!

We often hear reports of male members visiting Japan for the first time to meet his date, where they try to hug or touch her skin, and she is shocked and she shows her negative emotion toward this act.

It is sad, but it happens often.

In order for Japanese women to understand about the western “Hug” habit, I always tell our female members “Don’t be shy when you meet your date, so give him a big hug!”

For Japanese People, it might take 100 years to make a “Hug” a daily habit, but I keep telling our female members’ how great hugging is for everyone. One must always be optimistic!!! Sooner or later it will catch on!!!
