Oh man, that is frustrating..

Then I think it should be some more waiting and continuing to inform about the status. Pretty much what you have been doing so far so I’m not a great help I think!

 

Yes I'm not complaining about the times, it's more about the lack of info when they told me I should have the visa by now....

No answer by email, by phone last Wednesday that every case is different and i didn't have yet 7 working days since the interview, but that happened already on Friday and that they don't really have any info of the application they just see that it's not issued yet. 

Hopefully, the status will change to issued soon........sounds like they are finishing up the final administrative processing.....please keep us updated....

The "waiting game" and all the possible negative thoughts are the tough part of this process........

Today it finally changed to administrive processing! Let's hope I can have the visa by this or next week. 🤞

Embassy called this afternoon and told me:

 

The issuance of the visa has taken longer than expected.

We will send the passport with the visa today by MRW courier service to the address Mr. Cambronero has given to us.

Sorry for any inconvenience this delay may has cause.
