TLDR : Answer Summary

After submitting a visa application, the timeline for approval can vary significantly, especially when a request for additional documents is made. Some users noted that this request can reset the processing timeline. However, users in the discussion shared their personal experiences, with one mentioning an approval in 11 days after applying for a NON-O visa, and another reporting a similar timeline after waiting 2 weeks. Overall, while responses can vary, it seems that the average timeframe can be around 2 weeks to a few weeks for approvals after submission.
