Stuck on "Issued"

[boggsjd 27]

Hello, 

 

My fiance was recently approved for a visa in China. He made it through with no problems, was told he was approved, they took the passport, etc. 

 

The interview was Aug. 13. The following day the CEAC status went to "administrative processing" for two days before changing to "issued" on the 16th. 

 

The problem is, we still haven't received the passport/visa. Is this normal? The embassy said it's in transit when we called, but that's been three or so days ago. Is this a reason to be concerned?

Congratulations!🎈🎉🍾 

I don’t have the answer for you because we are not there yet.  We are still waiting for packet 3.

Half a month does look weird , keep an eye on https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

Did your fiance choose to have the passport package delivered to the bank or to his address via EMS ?

If it's via EMS, there will be notification and the tracking number when it is sent out via email

If it's via bank, the bank will let your fiance know it has arrived and remind him to pick up

He's here now, but I forgot to update everyone about this issue. I'm leaving this here just so others can have it for reference. 

 

They did send his passport/visa out when they said they did, but they sent it to the wrong bank. It's in China, so they sent it to a CITIC bank location different than the one we had selected. 

 

We found this out because I submitted an inquiry with the embassy. I received a reply the next day stating that the visa had already been sent out and issued, etc. I received another a separate email shortly thereafter saying much the same. Between the two emails, however, my fiance got a call saying that his passport/visa had been sent to the wrong location. It was still in the same city, so he went to pick it up without a problem.
