Hello, I want to share my experience on Japanese Naturalization application, I compeleted all my documents and was accepted after the document acceptance about 2 months later, I was asked to take a Japanese Language test even though I passed the JLPT N2, probably because of stress and nervousness I was shocked to know that I failed the written test, the examiner told me that I have two options, 1. Is to withdraw my application and get all my documents and apply again to get another Japanese Test or 2. Continue with my application, but there is a disclaimer that I might get a rejection since my written test has failed he told me that I have atleast 98% of probability on rejection but still can proceed. However, since there's a huge amount of new applicants, a new application ASAP is not advisable so he then advised me to wait for half a year and continue improving my japanese, I also thought that waiting for 6months to 1years is the same as waiting for the results so I ultimately decided to continue with the application with all my documents even though the approval percent is low.
What is your take from my experience is it really a miracle to get an approval in the end even though, I have perfect tax record, a stable work in a Japanese company using actual Japanese conversation and was integrated in the japanese society with no police records and traffic violations (I also got japanese drivers license). Or my examiner just didn't really like me, the latter is just a joke, but I would like to really know your take on this. Thank you.
