I got the visa vs I have got the visa

Both "I got the visa" and "I have got the visa" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I got the visa" is commonly used in American English to indicate a completed action in the past, while "I have got the visa" is more common in British English and emphasizes the present result of having the visa.
