Depending on where your fiance(s) lives it can take up to 3 weeks. Most people usually get in no longer than 10-14 days. The location in which they live also matters. If they live further away it will take longer to deliver.

Were you fully approved? No AP right? AP will definitely take some extra time.

You can also check the Domex website. Just have your receipt number.

He lives in the capital, and he was fully approved, no AP everything was smooth, handed in all the forms and he was sent to the bank to pay the $15 USD and returned the receipt and the said congratulation your visa has been approved go pay Domex. Should I call the embassy?

Check the Domex website first then call the embassy. You should be able to pick up from the Embassy.

Thank you MrTee for your suggestion, I just called the embassy and they assure me that everyhting is in order no documents are missing and that I am within the time frame, it takes up to a month for my fiance to receive his documents. They are just a little behind with all the approvals and delivering them.
