What should I do if my visa application is still pending after almost a month?
Hi I applied visa on 9th October from Sydney Australia and there is no update yet. It still says pending document check. 
Summary so far
A user is concerned about their visa application status, as it has been pending since October 9th, with no updates. Other commenters share their experiences with visa processing times, noting delays due to the high season for applications and advising patience. They also recommend checking the embassy's website for specific processing times and understanding that the status messages may not reflect the actual approval or rejection timeline.

Use search including Embassy name, you are asking questions that has been answered numerous times.
Those status messages doesn’t tell you anything useable about when you get your application approved/rejected.
You have to read the Embassy website thoroughly and take into account the right now is high season for visa applications.
Most Embassy website gives a very thorough information about processing time.
Additional Documents reset the time counting back to 0, at the day the documents are submitted.
Some Embassies process according to travel date ( to the benefit of the applicant) rathed than application date.
You just have to wait patiently.

Thanks. Yes, I checked the website and saw that it can take 4-6 weeks if there are delays. I wasn’t aware of that earlier when I applied my Visa. I also emailed them, as they don’t provide visa support over the phone, but I’m still waiting for a reply.I’m just worried about when I’ll get an update. The purpose of this post was to hear from others who applied around the same time and see how long theirs took. I know every case is different, but their experiences might give me a rough idea of what to expect.
