Visa "ISSUED" but no tracking information

[NineDev 5]

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry for coming to this site with my hyper-specific issues, but I'm at a loss right now.

 

Long story short, I had my interview at the end of November and it went really well. My visa was on AP/refused til the 8th of February, where it suddenly became "ISSUED". This was a HUGE relief... until two weeks passed to the current day, and I still haven't received anything. No messages, no notifications, nothing. The tracking website is still on the "appointment" phase of the visa process. I've called the Paris embassy more than thirty times but they've been absolutely no help, constantly throwing me to dead ends on their phone line, being unable to answer my questions and only repeating what the CEAC says: "It says issued on the website, I pray for your patience" type stuff.

 

I've also called the ais.usvisa-info phone line for France, to little avail. They don't have my visa, and they cannot help me. All my emails to both locations go unanswered, and I'm not sure what carrier to call since it just says "La Poste" which is our national postal service.

Maybe this is normal and to be expected, but looking over this forum and other places, most people seem to wait at most a few days.

With my expiration date on my visa quickly approaching (April 24th), is there *anything* I can do talk to a consular, or anyone that could tell me where my visa is?

 

I'm holding out hope for this week to be THE week, but I won't lie I'm pretty stressed out. The idea of my visa expiring because they printed it out and then just sat on it is making it hard to even sleep.
