F-6 Marriage Visa Approved Despite Prior Overstay – Chinese Spouse Case in Bucheon

A Korean client sought to bring his Chinese fiancée, who had a prior 3-month overstay record, to Korea through an F-6 marriage visa. The initial visa application had already been denied due to this immigration violation.

The fiancée had since voluntarily departed Korea and was residing in China. To succeed in the re-application, Dongju Law Firm prepared a thorough defense strategy to demonstrate the genuineness of the marriage and the couple’s stability in Korea.

Key defense strategy:

1. Explaining the overstay – Providing documentation and a detailed explanation that the overstay was unintentional and followed by voluntary departure.

2. Proving marital authenticity – Submitting photos, chat records, family exchanges, and official marriage registrations in both Korea and China.

3. Establishing stability – Submitting the Korean spouse’s income records, proof of housing, and plans for stable settlement.

✅The result? Immigration authorities approved the F-6 visa, recognizing the couple’s sincerity and stable living foundation, despite the overstay record and prior visa rejection.
