ORIGINAL POSTER
“Processing: Pending approval”

Anyone experienced any surprises or rejections after this status?

How long before the approval came through for you after this status.

Thanks in advance for any help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The status 'Processing: Pending approval' can lead to uncertainty for applicants. Responses indicate that processing times vary widely and depend on the specific consulate's posted times, which may go up to six weeks or more if additional information is requested. Seek clarity on the type of visa applied for and the specific consulate, as experiences can differ widely.

There is no answer to this question 🙁 it takes as long as it takes 😕

You need to go to the website of the consulate you applied thru and read the posted processing time.

The consulate can take that long if they want to. Believe it or not some consulates have posted that they take SIX WEEKS processing after they receive your documents and if they request more info it adds another so many working days to the time.

Where did you apply?
