TLDR : Answer Summary

Community members are discussing their experiences with visa applications to the embassy in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Many are waiting for approval, with some sharing their timelines of submission and document requests. It appears that during this busy season, processing times may be longer than average, and communication from the embassy typically occurs only if additional documents are needed or when a decision has been made.

You will only get a email if the need additional documents or when the visa is approved / rejected.

You simply have to wait and stay there until approved.

Now is the busiest time of year for visa, so may need to wait up to 50% longer than average
