ORIGINAL POSTERHello I’m nervous! Sorry for a question, my application was submitted 2 days ago. Today I saw its pending approval. Could I get my visa soon? 🥺🥺
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is anxious about the visa application status, which is currently pending approval, and is seeking information on how long it typically takes to receive the visa. Comments from others suggest a variety of experiences, indicating that while some received their visas quickly, it can take longer depending on several factors, including location and requirements. Common advice includes managing expectations, being prepared for further document checks or interviews, and staying occupied to ease anxiety about the wait.

In London got mine in 36 hours. A lot of people get within 48 hours. Keep it simple and double check everything. Don't give them any excuse to reject.

You should be nervous. Not because of your visa, but because the people in this group rip people apart for no reason 😂

Based on others experience in this group I would not expect approval in a week at least. Not saying there is no chance to get it sooner, but having unrealistic expectations leads to disappointment

Hey I hope you get it soon but it can take up to 2 weeks or even more as I’ve heard.
I understand though I will be in the same situation next week 🤞
Try to fill your time with something so you don’t think about it that much, my first visa took 2 weeks and got approved on the night before the flight.

Maybe. The statuses don't really mean anything and it can to back to document check. Many people have reported that in this group.
