I 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.
