PROFILE

I would like to introduce myself as a Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist (also known as “Gyosei Shoshi” in Japanese) with historical background, share my future vision and how I would like to contribute.

Greeting

　

Thank you very much for visiting Inoue Immigration Consulting!

My name is Atsushi Inoue and I was originally from Okazaki-city, Aichi Prefecture, where many migrant workers from South America and Southeast Asia have started to settle since 1990’s.

In my young adulthood, I had many questions starting with “why” about migrants living in our local community, and another “why” about ourselves as Japanese who were somehow indifferent to them without knowing, although they were always there with us. These were my initial meetings with migrants, and later led my journey as a “Gyosei Shoshi”.


My thoughts toward migrant became stronger even after leaving my hometown for Tokyo for my undergraduate study. During my college years, I happened to join in off-campus volunteer activity for migrant support group through my mentor, who also has migrant background.

While working with them, there were several incidents which made me think “No one can really choose own parents and nationality at the beginning”.
Coincidently, in those days, significant change on Japanese Nationality Law and focus on Japanese-Filipino Children (JFC) drew people’s attentions from national to grassroots level. Looking back, it would have been a turning point to start my career for migrants.


I thought every possible way about what I can do for them, in what part I might/might not be able to help but how I can share and alleviate their anxieties, dilemmas and any other concerns while they were confronting with a tough situation.

Piecing my thoughts together, the answer I found was to “specialize in the procedure of Status of Residence and consultation service as my profession”, and “connect migrants to local community to help them get settled without any stigma or discrimination”.


After graduating from university, I worked in private company, public-service corporation and international organization to earn my experience and know-hows for my profession.

In August 2021, Inoue Immigration Consulting (IIC) starts its operation to support migrants and multi-stakeholders involved in “people on the move”.


IIC always respects three simple phrases.

1. Be always sincere to others
2. Work hard for others’ bona fide benefit
3. Create life-long partnership with others

I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
