Hello,
My wife and I are currently living in US with my H1B (H4 for her). We recently got our extension approved and like to get a new stamp on our passports. We are planning to do this in Tokyo while we will be there for my holidays. I am a Japanese citizen but my wife is a German. The US embassy in Tokyo website says it requires a re-entry permit to Japan for non-Japanese for visa renewal. However, since we do not live in Japan, my wife does not have such a permit. Does anyone know if this will be really required?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Keita
