What should I do if my visa application status is 'pending document check' without a request for additional documents?

Hi folks!

I was in pending approval for two days but now when I logged in it says pending document check, but I haven’t gotten a request for further documents.

Has anyone experienced this before? My flight was supposed to be tomorrow so I think I may need to change it

Tried to search to see if others have experienced the same but had a hard time finding posts

Thanks so much for your insights in advanced!

It’s not common, but definitely not unheard of. You’ll juts have to wait for now and make sure to keep checking your emails, and don’t forget to check your Junk folder!

Warning ⚠️ Whatever you do, do NOT fly out of the country where you’re applying from, otherwise you may end up like this person.

Which embassy are you applying from?
