I just passed all exams (up through Extra) this past weekend, and my
paperwork was submitted to the FCC. After checking the FCC database, I
see
that I have been issued a Technician license and callsign. I'm surprised
it
was issued so quickly, but more surprised that a Tech license/call was
issued instead of Amateur Extra.

Should I call the FCC # on the CSCE form or wait a few days and see if
it
gets "fixed" in the database?

Did you also pass the code? If not, all that they will issue is a
Technician no matter how many writtens you've passed. If you did pass the
code, you should contact the VE team that administered the test and quite
possibly the VEC as someone did not enter it correctly. You should
contact
them immediately. The FCC has no way to correct the situation until the
VEC
submits the proper entry.

Yes, I passed the code and all written exams (elements 1, 2, 3 and 4). I did
contact the VEC and he's on the case :)

I'll post any follow-up info I receive back under this thread.

I wanted to say thanks to all who responded and to provide an update in case
anyone else has a similar problem.

My VEC contacted the ARRL VEC office and they corrected the error. A new
Amateur Extra callsign was issued along with the status change, and
presumably a new operator's license certificate will arrive in the mail.
