CEAC switched to “Issued” but has not received an email, is there any need to worry?
For most settlement applications, Issued status is the most anticipated good news.
However, after CEAC displayed Issued, many people continued to worry because they had not received an email or text message from the passport delivery unit.
This is a fairly common situation.
⸻
What does Issued mean?
Issued status says:
* Visa has been issued.
* Passport is entering the visa printing process and completing final procedures.
* The application has passed the review stage.
This is usually the final status on the CEAC before the visa grantee receives their passport back.
⸻
Why haven't I received the email?
There are many normal causes such as:
* Passport is being printed with visa.
* The delivery unit has not yet received the passport.
* Email is in the process of being sent.
* System updates are slow between units.
Therefore, not receiving an email immediately after CEAC switched to Issued is usually not an unusual sign.
⸻
Should I contact you immediately?
Normally, you should:
* Email tracking.
* Check spam.
* Track notifications from the delivery unit.
* Check CEAC periodically.
If you've waited longer than usual and still don't have any updates, then you should contact the official instructions.
⸻
What not to do?
After seeing Issued, you should not:
* Send multiple emails consecutively.
* Panic because there is no announcement yet for the day.
* Compare with other people's progress.
Each application can be completed at a different time.

Things to prepare
While waiting to receive your passport, you should:
* Prepare an entry plan.
* Check your personal documents.
* Prepare financially for the trip.
* Check visa validity after receiving passport.
Preparing in advance will help you be more proactive when your visa is ready.
