Not just USD that is issue it seems, I'm having an issue with two recent separate Yen withdrawal requests. Both 'confirmed' in Gox account history, but about two weeks passed and not hit my bank ( a japanese domestic bank ). I do have a verified account. No response to my several support queries so far.
Luckily the two withdrawals were only a BTC each, bad but not end of the world. All my other BTC since withdrawn to the safety of my offline wallet, until I see those two BTC worth of yen hit my bank account.
There is some notice on the Gox site about japanese domestic transfers delayed due to end of year holiday period, maybe it took a few extra days over that period, but there aren't delays in the general banking system, ( I've made other non Gox transfers ok ), any delay is at Gox end as far as I can see.
