Did they give any explanation as to why its not ready?  This is strange.  I never heard of such.  Maybe the computers are down.

After it says issued wait for another 2 weeks before u go to DHL. 

My family's was issued on May 4th and DHL collected it on May 16th

So that explains why the CO told my husband to wait 3 weeks for his visa instead of 2 weeks. 

Thanks!

So even if it says issued today you have to wait for 2 weeks before you could collect your passport and document from DHL?

 

I called DHL and the lady I spoke with said once your ceac status reads ISSUED  then you have to come to their office for pick up.

I don't get it.  Is there anyway that she is check and see if his passport is there and ready for pick up? because to me it seems like its ready.

The lady at the Gss,just said issued may visas are not in yet and that I should check back in Two weeks.

Issued means that your visa is being printed in your passport, it doesn't mean that it's ready for pickup. From when it's issued you need to wait for it to ship to DHL where you can pick it up.

Ceac status says ISSUED .

with a note which says ' your visa has been printed'

I still do not understand why it takes two weeks for it to get to DHL.

[Scandi 4,180]

Maybe because it's Ghana? Just because it was printed doesn't mean they send it immediately, who knows how long that takes. And maybe the postal service is slower in Ghana than most people are used to. Could be many different factors.

 

In Sweden it takes 1-2 days to receive your visa package after it has been issued. It can obviously differ a lot between countries.

Generally, it takes about a week after status changes to issued before passport and other docs become available at DHL. For the past 2-3 months, they have some backlog so it takes more than a week. On a normal day, after visa is approved at interview, they tell you to pick up in 2 weeks but now 3 because of the delays. If you are in a hurry check back with DHL after a week. A lot of things are not understandable but that's what it is. Unfortunately you won't get any different answers.

That's odd because I know someone who had their interview same day as my fiance (May 16th) and he has received his visa and is already here in the states.

We waited over a month to get his passport. Who knows what they are doing at the embassy and the DHL office. Just be patient the hard part is over

Yea my fiancé is in the same position as yours. His said issued on the 5th as well. When he went the lady said they are passing out visas from May 26 and he should come back in 2 weeks. However his paperwork says if it says "issued" it's ready for pickup. So I guess there is a backlog. I called the call center and the lady said it will change from "issued" to "pickup", I'm not sure how true that is.
