Low attendance and getting a visa

[Brenms]

So, Right now I'm attending a language school in Yokohama, and have been for the past 7/8 months. I got accepted to Temple University a month ago and am going to begin classes in January.

So here's where my plan comes in:

I currently have a job working from my computer at home from a company based in Singapore, and want to drop out of language school right now and just save up money and not have to spend it all on tuition.

I want to drop out, stay for the 1-2 months I have of leniency time after I quit school, and then switch to a tourist afterwards. After my tourist period is up it will be time to start Temple, and I will switch back to a student visa.

I just have a few concerns with this plan of mine...

My attendance to language school right now is 68% (I have no legitimate excuse for this). Would this effect me getting my student visa through Temple Uni?

Can I switch from a tourist to a student within Japan, or would I have to return home first?


So what do you think? Is this possible?

So let me get this straight, you are borderline flunking out of school based on attendance, want to quit school and work from home, and risk having your visa taken away (you risk them yanking their sponsorship as you are not in school and violating your visa)

And you want to know if immigration should give you another visa based on your attendance record.

Tell me if you were immigration would you issue yourself another visa? Has Temple actually said you have a student visa?

Nonono, you don't understand. I'm literally going to quit school officially. But you get a 1-2 month leniency period to get out of the country. after that period is up, I'll switch to a tourist visa.

That gives me 5 months of working from home.

So the only thing that matters here is my attendance.

And I wouldn't call it "flunking", I'd call it indulging in the culture of Japan via other activities.

As I explained in my other post, in your other thread, you can stay until the expiration date listed on your status of residency. However since you stop being a student (drop out) then you must inform immigration of this within 14 days of dropping out. In addition, the school the sponsored you is required to inform immigration within 14 days as well. Now you have status of residency where you are no longer with your sponsoring organization, nor are you fulling your the status of residency. Immigration might say you got to find another school or they might tell you that you got 1 week to leave. Though any decisions is up to immigration's discretion.

Also, as mentioned has Temple University agreed to sponsor you for a student status? As you know getting a student status in the first place required you to submit a lot of documentation etc, it's not something that happens on the spot or even overnight. To change over back to a student status, requires you to submit all required documentation, and have Temple University agree to be your sponsor, processing time can take 1 - 3 months to process.
