2down hit it right on the nose.  My status changed to issued exactly one week after fees were paid.  So to recap:

12/22 received passing score

12/24 received packet in mail

12/29 mailed completed packet to board

1/22 e-mail from board saying "we are issuing the license"

1/28 website status updated to "certification in progress"

1/30 candidate log-in shut down and licenseee search shows "unissued"

2/4 received license notification in mail, paid fees online                2/11 status changed to "issued"

So a month and half later I belive I am finally a CPA
