Hi everyone 

is pending approval a good sign? 

they asked for more documents this morning asking for the unmarked bank statement, I responded with the letter explaining it is how the bank provided it which it was stamped inside the bank and I did not unmark it. now the status changed to pending approval. im very anxious.

Answer summary

The transition of your visa status to 'pending approval' is generally viewed as a positive indication, though it does not guarantee final approval. Recent discussions highlight that while 'pending approval' suggests progress, there may still be requests for additional documentation. One commenter noted a similar experience where their status changed to 'pending approval' before receiving the actual visa. It's advisable to stay positive and keep addressing any requests from the immigration office.

What it meant by unmarked statement? Did you outline your income pay transactions like some embassies ask?

Yes pending approval is a good sign but it is not a guarantee of approval or that you will not be asked for more docs. Best to relax and think positive 😊.

Just outside of Hanoi, the countryside area is really nice. There are many great spots very different to Hanoi, Dalat, Phu Quoc Island, Mekong River area is great, Da Nang is the hotspot at the moment.

we are in Hanoi. the food, the hustle and the cleanliness is not to my desire. nothing against the country but I guess it’s not somewhere i enjoyed so far.
