Hi everyone,
So I recently received my COE through mail… I initially applied for 6 months (because I could only show the required amount for 6 months in a bank statement.) However, my COE says 1 year and 3 months.
I was informed that on my visa application I have to put the same duration as is stated on my COE. (In the “intended length of stay” blank)
I was wondering, will I have to now submit another bank statement to the Atlanta embassy in order to prove I can study for a year and 3 months? I definitely don’t have 2 million yen yet…

I’m reasonably sure the embassy won’t ask for a bank statement. If you got a COE for 1 year, 3 months then somehow the school finagled that with immigration on the Japan side with whatever bank statement you provided them.
I applied in Atlanta. Same with my COE, one year and three months. They did not ask for proof of income. You’ll be fine.
