ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The time for DTV approval can vary depending on the embassy where you apply. It's crucial not to purchase flight tickets until your visa is officially granted. Some community members suggest that using an agent has resulted in denials, while others advise self-application. Always check the embassy's website for specific guidelines and ensure you are not leaving the jurisdiction until your visa is approved.
