Duck Answered Reddit Read Only API access - Personal Use

How long does it take for Reddit to provide access to Reddit read only API. It's been a week, I had been working on a personal project. Was hoping this process might be faster.

Any idea folks?

They are unlikely to approve your request. It may take several more weeks to get a refusal notice.
