TLDR : Answer Summary
The timeline for a visa application to change from Pending Approval to Issued can vary. One user received their visa via email while the status still indicated Pending Approval, suggesting that notifications may not always be timely. Another comment emphasized that the next steps, whether approval or an interview, depend on the specifics of each case.
