I would guess it depends how busy they are / how many staff are available and when they get around to doing it.
Your best bet is to give them a call and ask for an update?

email is not secure and email does not provide any identity checks and will not be accepted to make account changes.
emails will generate automatic generic replies.
Best to make a phone call for immediate help.
