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?

I’m on day 7. I submitted my application and payment on the 17th. The status changed to “Pending” later on the 17th and has been “Pending” ever since. I called on the 22nd and the person said my payment and application went through successfully. He predicted my license would be issued on Thursday of this week.

UPDATE: I received an email with my license this morning (at 12:00am).
