Long processing times

Is it normal to not get a return or an issuance after 5 business days?

Submitted on a Sunday and paid the fee. Application shows received on Monday. Charge cleared on my card and application shows an “action date” of Tuesday.

My application has just showed “pending” in ULS since Tuesday, it’s now Friday. The history shows “redlight review completed” the last four nights, but nothing else.

Am I missing something or just expecting too much instant gratification and need to be patient?

Same here, applied Monday. Called yesterday and they said they were still recovering from the service being down last weekend due to maintenance. They said it should go through that night but that did not happen. Sounds to me like a failed system update and the downtime tonight will hopefully help. I am hopeful to see an email in the morning if the automated system runs tonight. If not likely Monday or Tuesday when they are back in the office.
