Congrats! Thanks for posting as this is encouraging as I've been waiting here in Cambodia for almost 10 days now. I applied on Dec 16th, and am stuck here for Christmas. I keep going to the hotel staff asking to extend every morning, they just expect it now.

Looks like it took the full 10 business days for you.

Cambodia honestly seems like one of the easiest options. People don’t select it as much because it takes longer though.
