I would like to thank you for your thorough response and the results you provided.
I think I made quite an unreasonable request, but I was handled with care and attention.
The project itself seemed difficult, but permission was easily granted and I'm really glad I asked for it.

Since the job was for a new private company, I provided a thorough explanation of the applicant's job description and applicability.
If the job responsibilities at your new employer differ from those at your previous job, extra caution is required.

The customer is from Taiwan and applied in March 2020, and the results came out in September, so it actually took about 3 months for the application to be approved.
I believe this was the fastest approval among those applying under the 10-year requirement for the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services Visa.
Although there were concerns about the annual income and recent job changes, we are very pleased that the approval was granted.
