Immigration Interviews: Purpose & Importance
Immigration interviews are a critical step in the visa application process. Officers verify information that cannot be determined from documents alone through direct dialogue. Especially for Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and permanent residence applications, interviews can be the decisive factor in approval or rejection.
Interviews evaluate the truthfulness of your application, clarity of your purpose in Japan, and your overall credibility. Without proper preparation, you risk giving contradictory answers due to nervousness or failing to communicate key points.
