Naturalization application timeline 2023/2024

I am curious about the current timeline of naturalization application. The last thread on this topic was more than a year ago. For those who applied in the last year or so I would appreciate if you could share your situation in this format, which I copied from previous thread and added a point.

  1. When did you start the process, when did you go for your first consultation?
  2. When was your application accepted?
  3. When were you called for the interview?
  4. When were your results announced?
  5. Where did you apply, which Legal Affairs Bureau did you apply to?
  6. Any other details about application type (Family or single) English test, Home visit etc.

I will share my status.

  1. Stated the process in Feb 2023, First consultation in April.
  2. Application accepted in late Dec 2023.
  3. Called for interview in May 2024. Was asked to submit an additional document, which I did in early June.
  4. Not yet.
  5. Sapporo.
  6. Used a scrivener, applied as a family, No home visit, No Japanese test

Edited to fix date typo.
