TLDR : Answer Summary
The waiting time for visa approval after submitting additional documents varies by embassy. Some users have reported a one-week wait, while others indicate that the approval process could reset back to the start, especially if further documentation is requested. This can result in significant variations in approval times, potentially leading to immediate approval in some cases, while in others, it may take longer.

 15 business days for approval after submission. You can be asked to submit more docs but the website does not give reset time, so it could be 15 more days or less.

It’ll depend on how long it takes for them to be reviewed Sometimes it’s immediately and sometimes they ask for even more documents
