The problem is, I haven't received my certificate of eligibility yet, so I don't have my visa yet (obviously)! I've been asking the school all summer long if they've sent it yet, or when they're going to send it, but the only response I get is 'we haven't received it yet, when we do we'll send it ASAP'. When I asked what was taking so long, they didn't respond.
I'm in Las Vegas now, and the closest Japanese consulate is in San Francisco, which is where I'll have to send all my stuff to apply for my visa. I emailed them, asking them what I should do, but all they said was that I should keep asking the school, which has been useless so far.
I'm at a total loss here, and getting super nervous. Is there any way to apply for a visa once I'm already in Japan? Or is there anybody else I can call who would speed up the process or something? I'm so worried and confused. Help! T_T

What school is it and what program did you go through to apply? I believe it is possible to get the prober visa after arriving in Japan, but it will be a hassle for you and the school.
