ORIGINAL POSTERIt's been 7 working days in Jarkata. Still pending document check.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the ongoing document check for a visa application in Jakarta, which has been pending for 7 working days. Several comments express the usual timeframes for visa processing, discussing potential delays due to Thai holidays and sharing personal experiences, suggesting it could take up to a month. Others inquire about specifics like the date of application and nationality.

So on the 5th it was a holiday
On the 10th it’s a holiday
Nothing really gets done from 4-15 Dec
You should have known this

DTV_Begpacker nothing gets done between 4-15 December even there are just 2 public holidays? You mean all of them taking all the other days off???

Well let’s break it down from a worker perspective…and I’m guessing you have worked in your life in a 9-5
The 4th was a Thursday holiday was the 5th a Friday
Then the weekend
The 10th is a Wednesday
So either you burn sick time/PTO on the 4th come back on the 8th
Work the 9th have holiday on the 10th
burn PTO/Sick time on 11 and 12 and into the weekend
2 4 day weekends and basically 1 day of work in that time period
And I’m guessing it’s half days on 4th and the 9th with a team building day on 11-12
Or you just take all PTO from 4-12 either way
If you’ve ever worked a day in your life for a company you will totally understand this schedule…if not I have no idea

@Robert ******
can you imagine people have different reasons to ask? It’s not only about working during waiting. Show a bit more empathy please 🙏Robert *******
@Maureen *********
Im full iwth empathy, can you imagine that?It takes time to sort out applications, review them and make a good decision, can you show me a bit more empathy for the work at the Embassy/Consulate and later Immigration?

@Robert ******
I definitely pay respect and understanding but if he/she/they asking - the background of everyone is different. But thank you for your kind advice 😉Robert *******
@Maureen *********
So you tell me that I need more empathy by assuming something different than me and you even call that pay respect and understand.Well in my definition it is something else.

do you remember which email you used to write them? I found a few and I don’t want to send an email to all of them to avoid spamming. I run out of medication because I didn’t expect it takes so long and I took medicines only for 10 days with me.
