I applied for dtv in Hanoi on the 22nd Dec, still no answers, shall I send an email to follow-up? Thanks

Answer summary

A user applied for a visa in Hanoi and has not received a response after 5 working days, questioning whether to follow up via email. Comments from other users provide mixed insights on processing times related to public holidays and personal experiences with visa approvals.

Xmas was not a public holiday. I got a little bit nervous because I see people who applied after me but got approved today or last Friday.

LoyalLizard6446 and over Christmas worse time ever to apply for a visa. The embassy’s close down especially now with new years.

LoyalLizard6446 I'm a little bit concerned because I see a lot of people being approved in just 4 days. For instance i just saw this applicant receiving his approval today but submitted his application 1 day after me, i start thinking there's something wrong with my application:
