Hello, After your Visa says Issued  how long before you can pick it up? And would the website update or should we just wait for a sms??. Thanks

What do you mean it doesn't say anything on ustraveldocs? It has to say something when you check the status.

 

My status change to issued on May 14th and we picked up our visa on Friday the 18th after the ustraveldocs status said the passport was ready to be picked up.
