Hi all,
For the DTV, does the application status changing from "pending document check" to "pending approval" mean that your chances of success have improved?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, changing the application status to 'pending approval' generally indicates that your chances of success have improved, as it suggests you have passed initial checks and your application is being reviewed by a more senior officer. However, it is not a guarantee of approval, and there could still be a request for additional documentation.
