Who this article is forAn enquiry from the applicant themselves about the contact received after applying online to extend the period of stay.
If you are being asked to send the original of your 在留カード, it is most likely a grant. When an online application for extension or change is denied, an email titled 「申請内容等について」 states by when you must come to the bureau in person (the same content as the notice mailed for over-the-counter applications). A confirmation phone call often follows. The phone call from the 出入国在留管理局 may also have been to tell you to send your 在留カード urgently because the 特例期間 is approaching.
