What does 'processing pending approval' indicate about my DTV visa status?

It means it’s pending

It means you’ve been rejected and most likely under investigation now 🤣

This means a first line officer has verified your documents and they appear to be fine. However the visa must be approved by a senior officer with adjudication capabilities. Not all consular officer have this cleareance and at this stage its all depends on the documents you sent. At Hanoi “ the embassy that i applied “ if you satisfy the financial requirement you should be good to go but again IT ALL COMES TO WHAT YOU SENT TO THEM. Always send the most documents when you submit the application🙏

Nothing, you cant use those status messages to anything they can go both ways.

It means what it says, and it could still be denied. Basically, the documents provided are sufficient for them to make a decision, but someone now has to decide whether to issue a visa or not. If I remind correctly, there have been cases where applicants still had to provide further documents after their application had reached this status though.
