I'm pretty sure it's a bit more complicated than "oh I know this guy from an anime forum. He's cool."

My girlfriend is an auditor working for a top-40 company, and she needs to go through a visa renewal process like anyone else. It's entirely possible for her renewal to be declined, and then she'd have to go back to Japan.
