Well my date of arrival is on 10 September on the application. My visa is always on pending approval.. sended email to the Embassy. Nothing. Applied 20 days ago. 

Updates : they send me the visa already now!

Answer summary

The user initially expressed concern about the pending status of their visa application submitted 20 days prior, with a date of arrival set for September 10. However, they later provided an update stating that their visa had been granted. Several comments discussed experiences with visa processing times, noting delays due to increased application volumes, the necessity of additional documentation, and lack of response from the embassy.

They're overloaded with the surge in applications. I applied on August 26th, a few days later they requested additional documents, then like two days later it change to Pending Approval and it's been like that ever since. Fortunately my intended entry date is October 22nd so I'm still good, but the window for free accommodation cancelation (in case I don't get the visa) is September 22nd so I'm kindda starting to worry.

BTW, I applied online and the Embassy site clearly states they're not taking any visa-related enquires either by phone, email nor in person visit.
