Like I said before, after filling out the initial paperwork there is an agonizing period of waiting time. So I decided to go get my passport. I went to my local post office which takes pictures for passports and got mine.
Then you fill out the passport forms and mail them out. Within a couple of weeks you have yourself a sparkly new passport.
So you have yourself a passport, big deal. Round two is coming up so get ready. By know it's late June and my university has sent me another packet with even more information. But the most important thing you will find is the Certificate of Eligibility.
This little slip of paper sort of explains your reason for going to Japan and without it you can't get a visa.
A visa is a stamp they put in your passport and to get it you have to look for your nearest Japanese consulate. Once you've found it, you can either go there in person or snail mail the necessary forms which is what I did.
If all goes well you should receive your passport back with a visa on it.
