Hello everyone, how long has someone had to wait in the "Pending Approval" section before they got and update? 

Is it fair for me to say they now require no additional documents? I wonder what the "Pending Approval" process is...are they 100% happy with the application and just waiting for their boss or someone to give the final yes? lol🤣🤣

Answer summary

The waiting period for visa approval in the "Pending Approval" section can vary significantly based on location and specific circumstances surrounding each application. Community responses indicate that wait times range from as little as 1 day to as long as 9 working days, with most experiences averaging between 5 to 10 working days. Factors influencing these times include the responsiveness of the embassy processing the application and whether additional documentation is required.
