2-4 weeks depending on the office

What type of DTV category did you apply for?

Workation or Soft Power?

Workation seems to be more likely to be granted if you actually do online work for a company and meet the financial requirements.

For once this would be an appropriate use for "Anonymous "…..

Good luck Sir.

I am self employed and had my office manager write a letter stating specifically what the RTE requested.

Congratulations on being an early adopter of DTV!

No based on endless reports of rejection…..

I did not have any difficulties with them.

They did want to see photo of actual bank balance, not the screen shot from my phone. No seasoning was required. I did have a LOT more in the account than the minimum requirement.

It took about 2 weeks for a request for more information and another 2 weeks for the approval.

You will need to prove you are actually in their service area. I did this by turning on my maps app on my iPad and laying my driver’s license next to it and taking a picture with my iPhone.

Also make very very sure your name passport number and dates are correct. Their machine has trouble with the passport data page and makes mistakes reading it.

it’s unwise to diss the group experts…

Good luck.

Los Angeles Consulate did not require anything more than a flight number and date. No tickets….

@Shan ****

Exactly. They just want to see you have a plan.
