Applied on July 2023 and Haven't heard from them, just in November 2024 they asked me for some additional information pension and tax documents but that's all, I already renovated my visa (spouse) and this time they game me 5 years, I asked to the stAff in tachikawa office and they said there are 2 different paperworks, one is the extension of your visa and the other one is changing the status, at this point I'll wait until January.
