Ken King No its not normal, but lot in same boat as you. Seems with all the local/regional holidays this time of year back office staff probably pissed off on holiday, which seems to have created delays and backlogs in all the SEA embassys, unfortunately HCMC seems worst affected and slowest to work though backlog. Saw someone got from pending on same date as you approved yesterday, so you should hold on there

@Aleksandr ********

Think best not to go by applied date but rather when went into pending approval as document requests reset you/send you to back of queue

@Aleksandr ********

From his post history applied 6th May

good news..embassy and from when in pending?

@Mike ***

Only seen one confirmation, Hanoi, application 12 May, approved yesterday. But then in comments see some waiting since did application on 1st

Why i said checking from pending stage is better, we have no idea if ones waiting longer had timers reset by doc requests

Main issue is probably when most get approved they don't post here again and just get out of the country and head back to Thailand and either leave group or ignore it

Aleksandr Remizov Approved now? And HCMC or Hanoi? Looking to see who has been approved since first, not waiting (another thread below for those waiting)
