ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, everyone.

Has anyone applied to the Ho Chi Minh Embassy on Monday, September 29th, and received approval? 

My status changed to Pending Approval on Tuesday (September 30th) without any request, but it has remained that way until today.

If anyone applied and was approved on September 29th, please share your story. Thank you in advance.
