ORIGINAL POSTERIf they requested for additional documents, and i submitted. How many more days on average it takes to approve?
Thank you!
Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The time it takes for a visa to be approved after submitting additional documents varies significantly. While some people report receiving approval within hours, others experience delays, with some waiting several days to weeks. The processing time can depend on factors such as the specific embassy, the complexity of the submitted documents, and whether the embassy requests further documentation. It is advisable to remain patient and not stress excessively over the timeline.

Don't get in this head space it's gonna be toxic for you, it varies and it still may not be approved. I was fast and clean from start to pending approval then I was in pending approval for 8 days and it fried my nervous system. So don't even go there trust me.

How long is a road? It varies depending on what road etc. Same with embassies. How complex is your documents, how hard they are to read and understand etc

soft power!Kurt *************
@Sheena ************
doesnt matter if its softpower or remote work. The application you provide is the key to success. If the application is messy, hard to read etc it takes longer for them to actually go through it. The more information, attention to detail you offer, the more strong your application will be. Trust me. I have helped several people in this groups with application with great success. None of the persons i have helped have been declined. So take my word for it. Having a easy to read, well documented application is your key to success.
