Hi everyone, my wife and I called Tokyo Regional Immigration Services Bureau today to ask about the status of my online spouse COE application since it’s already been taking quite a long time. The person on the phone told us that the application is already “finished/completed,” but they didn’t directly say if it was approved or denied.

We’re really anxious because I had a previous COE denial before, so now we’re overthinking what this could mean.

We still haven’t received the official email or notification through the online system yet.

Has anyone here experienced the same thing before? If immigration told you your application was “finished,” did it end up being approved? And how long did it take before you got the actual result after that?
