About AOM
AOM, led by Yayoi Ashikaga, boasts more than 20 years of experience in the immigration service industry.

Since 2010, AOM has specialized in investor visas, initially focusing on Australia, New Zealand and the United States. While still strong in the Oceania region, current regulations have shifted AOM’s primary focus to US and New Zealand investor visas, particularly the EB-5 program. In addition to investor visa services, AOM assists mainly with work visas for expatriates to Australia and New Zealand.
AOM is a pioneer in promoting the EB-5 program in Japan. They were the first Japanese firm to actively participate in global investment migration conferences as speakers, starting in 2018. They actively educate both prospective investors and business professionals about the EB-5 program through lectures and conferences.
