Is it normal for my visa application status to remain 'Pending Document Check' for several days?

ORIGINAL POSTERI applied for a DTV via Jakarta consulate Monday April 21 around midday and it is now Friday the 25th and the status has not changed from "Pending Document Check.". Is this normal?
I still have to apply for a dependent DTV if/after I get approved so looks like I will be in Indonesia longer than I was hoping. At least it's a beautiful place with wonderful people.
Thanks in advance.

There's probably a backlog from Songkran. They only worked 2 days last week.
