Now that it's "Pending Approval"... Does this mean they won't request more stuff from me, or is that still possible to happen?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When your visa application status is marked as "Pending Approval," it indicates that the initial review is complete. However, it is still possible for the immigration office to request additional documents before making a final decision. Some users report that they received no further requests, while others have been asked for more proof or documentation. Ultimately, it may take time for the application to progress further, and patience is essential.

FunCranberry2433 my friend had it rejected 3 times from “pending approval”. First time no reason, second time he hadn’t checked i his scanned data, third time not sure. But 1k usd down the drain.
