I had the same thing yesterday. It took about 10-15 minutes and then my guild chats and area chat were available. I then joined a group and it took another 10-15 minutes for that to become available.
One of my guild chats did not become available for over 30 mins.
By not available I mean that it simply did not show up in my voice menu.
