It may not be ready just yet. My status also says issued but my fiance went to the embassy to try and get it and was told to wait for it to say "ready." I'm not sure if that's true or not but we plan to wait the 10 working days since it said issued for it to change to "ready" and try again.

 Has it been a long time since you were approved? If so maybe you could try to go to the embassy and inquire. I do believe we are supposed to pick it up from the embassy directly, at least that was what my fiance was told.

My husband was approved on December 20, 2016, and it says issued on January 5, 2017, but he still doesnt have his visa. The status should say ready meaning thats when you can pick it up

It seems the issuing times have gotten faster since the December approvals but as far as the visas being ready, it is still taking a while. I was approved on January 4th and status changed to "Issued" on January 13th. I don't know if it because of the holidays and maybe they're behind? I guess we just have to wait. I hope this doesn't go into February :wacko:

Very strange, usually issued is the last status before your visa arrives or being picked up. Ready is usually the status you get before the interview, not after it already said issued. Must be a Ghana thing.

Yeah it's strange... Because that's also what I know... That "issued" is the last stage of the visa status and "ready" is before interview.... I'm frustrated already...

I'm thinking so too, waiting seems to be the only option now...

Exactly! I thought it was the same procedure. Accra Consulate is just backwards on everything ?
