I submitted my dtv application to the LA embassy on 5/3 (Saturday). It's now 5/15 (8 working days later) and my application is still "pending document check." At which point is it reasonable to contact them and ask for an update? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user submitted their DTV application to the LA embassy and is inquiring about when it would be reasonable to contact them for an update, as it has been 8 working days since submission. Comments from others indicate that the LA embassy can have slow processing times, with official guidelines stating a waiting period of 15 working days. Additionally, users mention the impact of holidays on processing times and share their own experiences of delays.
It's been a month since I submitted my original application to LA. I submitted extra documents 12 business days ago (not counting recent holidays), mine still says "pending document check". I sent an email requesting an update 3 days ago with no response. ðŸ«

Also, the 5th was a holiday, so only been 7 days. LA states 15, and if they ask for additional documents, they add 5 more days once those documents are submitted
