I am currently going through a visa process to go overseas and it takes time and there is quite a bit of back and forth of information involved. Don't get me wrong the club will have already submitted a request a few weeks before the signing to ensure that he will be granted a visa hence the signing. but at some times the actual final stamp on a visa can take time and a lot of things need to be checked. IMO this could literally be getting held up depending on whose desk it has landed on and how methodical they are at their job (It may be that it is sitting on a desk in front of a Newcastle fan who keeps putting it to the bottom of the pile
) I personally think that it will be sorted soon and if it was a big problem then the club would be making a bit more noise about it. Obviously he is training and on the payroll now so they will have the decision in principle that his visa will not be a problem.
