Visa Change of Status - Examination Period 2020/8/31 13:31
Hi

I applied for change of status for visa but 2 month extension period for examination is going to expire on Sep 15 and I still did't receive postcard from immigration.Is there any provision for further extension of examination period in case immigration not able to replied in 2 months?

last visa already expired and this extension was in addition to the last expiry date.

I also wonder that. As I just applied for a change of status.

Perhaps you can give them Immigration a call? And ask if everything is ok with your application?

Might be a chance they requested something extra? But by mistake was a wrong phone number ect..
Mistake can happen. Just A thought I had. If I would be in the same situation as you in the near future.

Ifd say after 6 weeks, I would try to contact them in case.

I came to know that examination period is extended for 1 month due to covid 19 but not sure about this so I will try to contact immigration to confirm if I have 1 more month for the result.

I have read that, in one link here.

Which was posted in may 12th.
That it was extended to 3.. But it could depend on what immigration office you went to as well.. and the officer.
I went to Nagano yesterday. Around 1/pm. It Was really quite there.
It definitely has 2 month on it. I suspect they might be less busy now.
Still if I was you Ifd call. If they wrote 2 months on the receipt/extension paper. I donft think it would automatically mean it can be 3.

Thanks for the information

I was planning to visit immigration office to have clear picture about the procedure but now I will check by calling them on Monday.

You applied in advance before visa expiry, no need to worry. But as per suggested by other memebrs, please call immigration and ask them the status.

Received letter from Immigration. They asked me to come to immigration office between specific dates to disclose the result as they didn't mention result in the letter. Also asked me to bring the passport.

I guess its denied but anyways will check with immigration for the reason and possibility to reapply.
