Hi everyone,
I've been waiting for my J-Find visa application result. I applied directly through the Embassy of Japan in London. I just received a direct email from the embassy informing me that my passport is ready for collection tomorrow. The email included this specific sentence:
<<<<<Dear (my name)
Thank you for your patience.
Your passport should be ready for collection from tomorrow 4th November. Visa processing can result in a visa being granted, or a visa being refused. You will find your result on collection.
You may collect your passport between 9:30 and 11:30 or between 14:00 and 16:00 on or after 4th November. You may need to show this email to security staff to be permitted entry to the Embassy and please follow the instructions on the application receipt when collecting the passport.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Visa Section>>>>>
I'm feeling quite anxious about this formal wording, and I'm worried it might be a subtle hint towards a refusal, especially with the slightly longer wait time.
Since I don't live in London (I'm a bit far), I can only make the trip down this Friday to pick it up. This means I have a few more days of waiting and anxiety!
Has anyone else who applied directly to the London Embassy (or another Japanese embassy) received an email with this exact phrasing? If so, what was your outcome (approved or refused)?
Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated as I'm very nervous about collecting it on Friday! Thank you in advance.
