posting to ease my mind or advice. i applied for a DTV around oct 20, 2 weeks ago (soft power - muay thai through a local agency) and haven’t heard any updates yet. is this a good or bad sign? no request for additional documents or anything.

edit: Applied through the Manila Embassy
Answer summary
The user applied for a DTV visa two weeks ago and is anxious about not receiving any updates. Community members advised that the lack of communication is normal given that it's a busy season for visa applications. They suggested checking embassy processing times and factoring in any potential holidays that might delay responses. Overall, they emphasized patience as a key part of the application process.

Use search including Embassy name, you are asking questions that has been answered numerous times.

Those status messages doesn’t tell you anything useable about when you get your application approved/rejected.

You have to read the Embassy website thoroughly and take into account the right now is high season for visa applications.

Most Embassy website gives a very thorough information about processing time.

Additional Documents reset the time counting back to 0, at the day the documents are submitted.

Some Embassies process according to travel date ( to the benefit of the applicant) rathed than application date.

You just have to wait patiently.

Always check their federal holidays Embassies will be closed. That could be the reason.

Neither good nor bad. It would help if you said where you applied but it's high season so the consulates are busy and taking longer to review applications
