How long has your DTV application been on Pending Approval? Mine went from pending document check to pending approval. Is that a good sign?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the status of a DTV (Dependent Visa) application, specifically the transition from 'pending document check' to 'pending approval.' While some users view 'pending approval' as a positive indicator, it is noted that this does not guarantee acceptance as it indicates that a junior staff member has reviewed the application and it is now awaiting further evaluation by a senior officer.

“pending approval” does not guarantee acceptance. At this stage, your application and documentation have been reviewed by a junior staff member. A senior staff member will now conduct a thorough review before a final decision is made
