TLDR : Answer Summary
The status 'processing pending approval' indicates that your DTV visa application has been reviewed by a first-line officer, who verified that your documents appear satisfactory. However, the final decision awaits a senior officer's approval. This status does not guarantee approval, as applications can still be denied for various reasons, including the need for additional documents or issues arising from the submitted materials.

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🙏

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.
