I'm so happy while I write this. My DTV has just been approved a couple of minutes ago. I applied in Seoul, Korea (I'm not Korean, but Korea is my "home" country as I've lived here for the past 15 years) on August 26th, was requested additional documents (a resume in English) on Sept 2nd, and the status changed to "Pending Approval" on Sept 5th. I'm thankful the Embassy took its time to approve it, so I wouldn't "lose" almost 2 months of the visa validity time.
Applied as a remote worker.
