Received 2 visas & COEs before: 2012- Saitama 2015- Osaka Zero hassle.
Applied: 4/10
They sent me a letter 5/1 saying that me or someone like me may have a criminal record so please submit court documents stating that I am innocent. First time to ever receive this. I have no criminal record but a common name from USA.
5/10- submitted document stating no criminal record.
6/21- Still waiting. They are giving me zero update, information, etc.
The company sponsoring me is RECRUIT one of the biggest & most respected companies in Japan.
Anyone experiencing long wait times recently for COE? Why the sudden longer wait? Prior COEs took 3 weeks.
Would it serve me any good to go down to immigration ?

Please see earlier posts. Also if you go to the immigration website it is mentioned that it can take UP TO 3 months. This means it can take longer or shorter depending on the situation.
About the criminal record it is their right to ask. Not one application for coe is the same.
If you doubt you can contact immigration after 3 months. Than you can complain and ask.

Hey there,
Please don't worry, I know how hard it is waiting... I received mine on Friday after a 10.5 week wait.. just be patient...3 months is the standard waiting time at the moment.
Wishing you all the best! :)

Hey ,Hello
Was looking for Coe related threads and it lead me here. I am from India and my sponsor company applied for the coe on may 24th to Nagoya Immigration office. and they said that aprrox waiting time is 1 1/2 to 3 months. I heard that work related coe usually takes 4 to 5 weeks. But as i told , i can do nothing but wait until for maybe ?? 2 months..
