So I just logged into the dashboard, and it now says "Pending Approval" 🥳  

It said "Pending Document Check" previously, so this is a new update!  

This is via the Los Angeles consulate.  Any idea how long it will take until it is actually approved with DTV pdf in hand?

Update:   Approved today!  Took 34 days total.

Answer summary

The user reported a status change to 'Pending Approval' for their visa application at the Los Angeles consulate, previously labeled as 'Pending Document Check'. They inquired about the typical time frame until they receive an approved visa (DTV pdf). After 34 days, they received approval. Community members indicated that the waiting period for approval can vary from a few hours to several weeks.
