Does the change from 'processing pending check' to 'processing pending approval' mean I don't need to submit more documents for my visa application?

Yesterday, when I uploaded all the documents, it was showing "processing pending check," but it has changed to "processing pending approval." Does that mean I don't need any more documents?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The change from "processing pending check" to "processing pending approval" suggests that your initial documents have been reviewed, but it does not guarantee that no further documents will be requested later in the process. Some users indicated that they did not have to submit additional documents after reaching this stage, while others noted it could vary depending on the consular review.

Basically yes. You have all the docs they need

Can’t tell. It means that someone checked to see your initial documents are what they are supposed to be (lower level staff member). When the consular reviews, he/she might request additional documents. Just have to wait and see
