To anyone who has applied for DTV in the USA, Washington, DC office:

What was your experience on the timeline to hear anything? I am still showing "pending document check". I submitted mine May27. Today is 10 business days. I know that at least one of those days was a Thai holiday.

So only 9 business days? And the 2nd may also have been a holiday even though it doesn't show as such on their website. However they actually quote 15 working days on their website, and have a disclaimer saying they are busy and so it might take longer than that
