PR Question: Working wife

Info: Mid-20s, Asian, married for 5 years.

Do you think having a job (better than my Japanese husband's) will have any influence on my PR application? (The immigration probably expects me to be a housewife and produce taxpayers.) I'm planning to apply in a few months.

How many months does it usually take? Any info on police checks? Social media checks?

Open marriage/extramarital affair, will this have any impact on my application?

Considering divorce after a while due to verbal abuse and irreconcilable differences... any tips?

- For PR, they want to see if you are contributing to the "Japanese society" - so if you have a job and are paying taxes in Japan, that would work in your favor (as far as I know). In comparison, for Spouse of Japanese, they had more emphasis on the Japanese spouse's ability to support themselves.

- In our case (non-Japanese husband switching from Spouse of Japanese to PR), it took almost six months from application to approval.
No police check and no social media check as far as I know (husband doesn't use any SNS, but they never even asked).

- I have no idea. But if you have been living under the same roof...

Sorry about your marital situation, BTW.

I know someone who got the PR application denied. He got a response about two months after the application.
The guy I know had an issue with his wife before the application. His wife reported him to the police. He was temporarily detained for couple of days. He didn�ft go to jail because his wife forgave him.
His permanent residence application has been denied.
So yes, they check police records. Background check is inevitable. They can�ft grant PR to anyone.
Working and paying taxes is always good.

Thank you so much for the replies! I'm glad to hear that not being a housewife and having a better job than my husband won't negatively influence my application. I just thought that my financial independence would make the immigration think that I'm not doing my duties as a spouse.

I've never been detained or anything and it's an open relationship so I think I'm fine. (I really hope so...)
