Ok, first of all I'm posting here with being aware that in the end it's always up to immigration, but first of all I need some advice in order to understand the overall situation. It seems a long story, so I hope I can explain without making everyone confused. :) Just to know if the "history" would be a red flag or not.
I have been already in Japan and lived for a total of two year. Right after my staying in Japan for a year, with student visa, in 2015, I met the person is actually my japanese ex-wife in 2016 (which I am still communicating with and, recently, on very good terms). So, we decided to stay together and, after communicating over LINE and meeting for the first time after almost a year of communications and also meeting each other only in Japan, we then decided to marry around December 2016. I returned briefly to my country (Italy) before coming back to Japan and in the meanwhile, our marriage has been made official and, managed to come back to stay in Japan and applying for the visa.
So, in short: 3 months as a tourist (Jan 2017 - Apr 2017), then changed status from short visitor status (visa waiver program) to Spouse Visa. Got 1 year without managed to get renewed.
During this year, unfortunately, I had to go through some troubles as a ex-common friend of us made a lot of troubles both to me and her and obstruct my way to work and take care of her (she has also childrens, not belonging to me) in the entire year, getting divorced 5 months later due to quarrels and other minor problems. Due to that, I stayed in Japan until status expiration because of the fact that I tried my best to fix the situation and start again with the same person, althought that guy interfered on the process I'll never made it, leading both of us in a difficult situation to solve.
I have dealt with police several times in a year due to quarrels and vivid discussion, but ended with no arrests or jailing thing involved (last time I was withheld a spent a night in the police station where I was actually photographed and fingerprinted if I don't remember bad), but unfairly accused of stalking because I wasn't expected that police has been called (she didn't called them, ofc).
In order to fix things, since is taking too much after losing my status (I got 3 months for leaving the country and also 10-15 days for sudden problems with leaving the country), I did the visa run on Korea two times getting 60 days total: in august and november. Of course I told the immigration at the airport about my real purpose since there's no point to lie (they also verify if I was really related to my ex j-wife throught houmusho) and everything went fine.
Unfortunately, due to the same reasons I had to come back to my home country at February 2019 and still here since then.
Now, things are getting improved as I'm still in touch with her and i'm into very good terms, so we got pacified and on our way to getting married again and living together as the main problems are now gone (the guy who gave me problems is now gone and since then we don't quarrell at all which is great).
Actually I have got the airplane ticket and manage to staying with her for just 2 weeks as a tourist and meeting each other again. Unfortunately, even if she really wants to, she has an illness on her head (it's not a mental one) which prevents her to travel with an airplane, which is the reason why I am the only person able to go to Japan and make it happen.
I'm making the following questions in order to know if there are possible red flags or not:
1) Due to her illness she can't for now work that much and she is under seikatsu-hogo (and afraid she could not be my guarantor as well) from the city hall. Aside from that, this should be a problem even if I make a written declaration about my skills and will to support her as a married couple? this because I don't want to be a burden and demonstrate to also fullfy my committment with her working in Japan, as she can't obviously move outside the country. Things that I would like to convey to immigration as my will.
2) Despite my past encounters with the police explained before, which may be not revelant enough to ring an alarm bell with the immigration about my behavior, could play a big role into an a future application? special mention goes that I have no criminal records in both Japan and my home country (totally clean).
3) In case of applying, since they may have my history at the immigration (I got the Spouse visa at Nagoya), does it ends into getting further documentations from them if asked or a possible rejection?
Again, sorry for the long post and hope that everyone are not bored from this. I will come back to Japan at March 2020, so there's still time to think and making future moves for the entire year. Only time will tell :)
I know that it is a case-by-case situation, so the outcome will differ greatly as well as the mood of the officer (and I know it very well, unfortunately :D) and other personal factors, but that would help me a lot to know in order to understand the situation and acting properly to minimize the chances to make mistakes or discrepancy that may issue red flags.
Again, thank you in advance for your polite answers and suggestion.
P.s. I am European, from Italy. :)
