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.

1 week for me. Anytime they ask for more docs it resets, I assume it goes back go the end of the line to be checked. This was hcmc embassy

Depends on the embassy, some embassies the approval time is reset to day 1. others approve same day.

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.

15 business days to be approved in Nairobi so it may take that long or earlier to be approved

Hopefully you get approved soon. I have not seen any posts from Nairobi so not sure of their approval time.

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
