DTV approved. Applied June 30, approved July 8. US citizen and applied online via LA consulate while in Colorado. Applied for workcation as self-employed. Another friend said it took him also 8 days. Thought I messed up by putting 5 years on how long my stay would be, didn't seem to matter.
Was asked for additional documents July 7: business registration, letter of employment, portfolio, and tax return. Sent docs and was approved within minutes.
Happy to assist anyone self employed wanting the workcation DTV.
