I applied one week earlier (17th) to the Chicago consulate and still waiting on approval š. At least the status of my application has changed from: āPending Document Checkā to āPending Approvalā but that was like 2-3 business days ago
Same exact thing happened to me 5 days ago. Thought they were putting me into the system as a ādonāt let back inā. Although mine happened at BKK not DMK.
