I hold the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa which expired earlier this month while waiting for my application to be approved but I got rejected.

Is it possible for me to apply for any other visa at this point?

I have the "在留期間更新許可申請中” stamped on the back of my current expired visa. Will it prevent me from applying for another visa?

I really don’t want to leave Japan yet, please help.

Edit 1: My boss just called me to ask me stuff and told me there aren’t any cases where people get their visa renewal application rejected after getting the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa even once. Can anybody confirm?

Edit 2: I may have been too quick to judge, seems to be a misunderstanding on my side that my application is rejected. I thought it was rejected cause my postcard came back blank.
