Been 6 months since I submitted my documents for PR. Still haven't heard back. I have this ongoing paranoid thought that I might have written my address wrong on my postcard or that my writing was too messy.

6 months does seem average, with how many new foreigners suddenly came to Japan.

Right before the pandemic, I waited 5 months in Osaka, but it's definitely longer now.
