Decision Checkは、在留資格に関する1つの判断事項を整理する有料・判断のみのサービスです。申請や契約を前提とせず、進む、待つ、先に別の点を整える、現時点では何もしない、といった選択肢を確認します。
Who It Is For
Use Decision Check when the decision itself is unclear
This service is suitable when general information is not enough, but full application preparation has not yet been selected.
Changed or Past Circumstances
Your employment, activities, family situation, residence history, payments, or other relevant facts may affect the decision.
Choosing the Next Step
You want a focused review of options without engaging application preparation or ongoing support.
日本語（対象となる方）
申請時期を迷っている方、転職・収入・家族・出国歴・納付状況等に気になる点がある方、申請代行を依頼する前に次の行動を整理したい方を対象とします。
Scope
What is included and not included
The review is limited to one defined decision and the information available for the session.
Included
- Review of the current residence status and the defined decision
- Consideration of the key facts provided before or during the session
- Identification of the main points that may require attention
- Comparison of practical options, such as proceeding, waiting, or preparing further evidence
- Consideration of possible effects on future extensions, changes, or Permanent Residence where relevant
Not included
- Preparation or filing of an application
- Full review of an application package or a large volume of documents

- Full HSP point calculation and evidence verification unless separately agreed

How It Works
A focused three-step process

The office confirms whether Decision Check is appropriate and explains the scope and fee before the session is arranged.
Online Review
A focused Zoom session of approximately 30 minutes is used to organize the options and the main points requiring attention.
Please provide only the basic information requested. Do not send a residence card, My Number card, passport, or other sensitive document unless this office specifically requests it through an appropriate channel.

初回問い合わせで基本情報と判断事項を確認し、Decision Checkが適切な場合に範囲と料金をご案内します。その後、Zoomで約30分の確認を行います。重要書類は、当事務所から依頼があるまで送信しないでください。
Possible Outcomes
The appropriate conclusion is not always to apply
The purpose is to clarify the next decision, not to create pressure to engage another service.
Proceed
The available information supports moving to the next stage, subject to the necessary documents and final confirmation.
Wait or Prepare First
Timing, stability, missing evidence, or another issue may need attention before proceeding.
Consider Another Option
An alternative procedure, independent action, another specialist, or no action at present may be more appropriate.
日本語（想定される結論）
結論は、進む、待つ、証拠や状況を先に整える、別の手続きを検討する、他の専門家へ相談する、現時点では何もしない、のいずれかになる場合があります。
