How long does it take to get your PR status?
I am waiting to get permanent status. The official website says it should take about 4 months, but when I called Tokyo Immigration, they said it would take 1 year. What is your experience? :)

I'd recommend keeping your eye on the Japan residents subreddit (r/japanresidents) as they do a monthly subreddit of how long it took people to be granted their PR. Below is the link for October. It seems like a lot has to do with the office that you've applied through -- for instance, someone in Hokkaido applied in May this year and was granted in October, others are still waiting and haven't been granted after applying from Tokyo around August of 2023. https://www.reddit.com/r/japanresidents/comments/1ftclk6/pr_processing_time_october_2024/
