ORIGINAL POSTER
DTV Approved! US Citizen.

Filed in USA through LA Consulate

Filed Dec 7 Workcation

Asked for additional docs Dec 13, sent same day.

* Other request documents: Your recent tax return

* Other request documents: Business registration of the company

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company

Didn't hear anything until I called on Jan 13. I fly Jan 20, so was getting nervous. They said call back Jan 15. I called this morning (the 15th) and they said they'd expedite it but no promises. 6 hours later it was approved. Lots of relief!

Thanks to all in the group for your help!
