The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) does not issue visas; Swiss representations abroad issue or refuse them, after the cantonal migration office has examined the underlying purpose of stay.
Many applicants assume one central office handles everything, but the process is shared. The cantonal migration office reviews whether the conditions for your long-stay purpose (work, study, family) are met and gives the green light for a residence permit.
The Swiss embassy or consulate that received your application then issues the D visa so you can travel. This split is why processing times and document lists can differ between cantons and posts, and why you should follow guidance from the specific representation handling your case.
