Hello everyone!

I have accepted a project management role in a category 2 company, I have JLPT N2 and 9 years of experience in multi national companies .. got a BCA degree too ..

I have been waiting since April 1 for COE and I still haven't heard back anything except under processing status!

Now since it's been officially 90 days, this is taking a toll on me because I quit my high paying job hoping to follow my dream and passion at these uncertain times .. I am kinda questioning my decisions ..

So my question is should I consider applying to new jobs locally or do you think i should give it a month or 2 more ? Is going beyond 90 days a bad sign ?

Hello All,

It's been 72 days exactly since I have applied for the COE, company is category 2 and it's a PM role.

Is this waiting time still normal?? Are there people who have received COE after 70 days too ??

Is there any way to know the exact status ??

I'm kinda getting anxious with more time it takes ..

Hello Everyone!

My new company applied for COE on April 1st and my noticed period at my current company is about to end.

My new company still says the COE is under process, it's for an engineering and humanities visa

Should I keep waiting or is it already time that i should look at alternatives and keep options at bay ?

Is it still under the typical COE timeframe ?
