I thought it was easier to apply for a spouse visa in Japan than it is in the US? Either way, I would have to go to Japan on a tourist visa first, right?
If I go to the school on-base, I'm only allowed to enter the building where the classes are held, then leave the base afterwards. If I get base sponsorship through employment, I would get full base privileges.. not that I need it, but it would be an extra convenience. We've planned on getting married either way.
