i have several questions in mind. If somebody could be kind enough to answer them, it would be helpfull..

Can a working visa holder change his status to a work visa?
If so can he continue to work while echanging his status?
What is the procedure to do to apply for a work visa?
What is a certificate of eligibility ?
Anf finally what is the adress of the immigration office in tokyo?

sorry i forgot a question : concerning the degree, how can the immigration check that the document you show them is really a degree? is there a list of universities by country?it's quite impossible to refer them all i guess...

About college degree, they ask for an original one, not a copy.

You can try to apply for a Change of Status which might get you a Work Visa.
I think your success will depend largely on your experience, the amount of time you've been here and whether or not an Employer can sponsor you.
They ask for a copy of your degree (or Diploma etc.) as they wont be able to return the documents that you give them.
