Weird, I also applied for soft power, Muay Thai in Hanoi on October 29 and I haven't heard a thing. Also included the same things you did. It just says Processing Pending Approval (1)... Not sure what the (1) is about, as I only applied once. Did you have a ticket back to Thailand at an earlier date than me? Maybe thats why they prioritized your application? I showed them a return ticket to Thailand for November 10.
