DTV approved through the LA consulate 🎉🎉🎉

Here’s my timeline in case it helps anyone:

 • Applied: April 27

 • Got a request for more docs: May 12

 • Submitted additional docs: May 13

 • Visa approved: May 22

They asked me for a company profile and business portfolio, so if you’re applying as a freelancer, definitely have those ready ahead of time to avoid back and forth.

Happy to answer any questions or share what I included in my uploads if y’all need help 🫶🏾

I am graphic designer and social media manager. So I just put together a portfolio in Canva. Which included screenshots of websites I’ve designed, my graphic design work, a page with the services that I offer. If you need a visual of what it look like shoot me a DM and I can send you what mine look like.

I definitely agree specially compared to some of the stories. I’ve read in this group. As long as you have your paperwork together, you’re guaranteed to get approved pretty much 🙌🏾 Now I’m waiting for my daughters to come back. Hopefully it doesn’t take as long. Congrats on getting yours 🎉
