chipped-wood yes, they did. They asked for some doc and it wasn't enough so the next day they ask for more a detailed doc and the day after they approved my visa. I did notice during the 2.5 weeks up to that point the status went from "document check" to "pending approval" then back again.

chipped-wood July 10, 11 were Thai National holidays so those days would not count. Depending on time of submission the next day after submitting can be day 1. What day, did you apply? You have received no request for additional documents?
