Hello, just a quick question, on my application for non o, I’ve gone from pending document check to pending approval, does this actually mean my documents are in order and I can chill? Cheers🤙
Answer summary
The change of status from pending document check to pending approval indicates that your application has passed an initial review and is now in the hands of a senior official for final approval. However, this does not guarantee that there won't be further inquiries or questions regarding your application.

It means you have passed the first sift and your application has been passed to someone more senior for approval. It doesn't mean they won't come back with questions
