ORIGINAL POSTER

Quick update: as I heard , the embassy in hcmc vietnam takes quite long. Since everyone is now rushing to this embassy   because they think it's  faster. So now It's been 6 or 7 days now and some people still haven't got their dtv. Just to let you guys know. Maybe Taiwan or Jakarta will be quicker now.

I do not think it has changed really. If they ask for additional documents, the clock resets.

- it has been 5 business days for months. There were two holidays in the last two weeks, therefore not considered “business days”.

To be fair this could be 7 working days, still waiting and probably had timer reset again. Could be useful information for some, it was/is for me as I need somewhere to go before 31st.
