What is the approval timeline for DTV applications in HCMC, and do you need to return to the embassy after approval?

Is anyone applying for DTV in HCMC on December 10 (I know it’s a government day off) and still waiting for approval today?

Also, can someone please share the time they received their approval email from the embassy? I noticed that many of you got approved very late in the evening, around 1 a.m.
