i m unsure whether the instagram approval process happens at a certain time frame. Some cases get approved in quick succession whereas some other cases stay in pending status for weeks without any news. make sure that the id informatiion provided is correct nd that ur account details match. sadly there is little u can do to exppedite the process.

It varies a lot—some ID verification appeals are resolved within 24–48 hours, while others can take several days or even a few weeks. If your appeal is still pending, the best option is usually to wait, as submitting multiple appeals can sometimes slow the process.

the only real workaround to speed things up is using meta verified on another account to get a live chat rep to push it through. outside of that you are just stuck waiting on their system which is completely random. if its been more than 3 or 4 weeks without a word, the appeal is probably ghosted and you might need to try a different contact form if you can find one that still works.

In case its for suspension, it can take 7-14 days. For "Confirm You Are a Human", it should take 1 hour.

Depending on the account, some accounts only take 24 hours, while others may take up to a month to wait for the results of Instagram's appeal.

Yeah @Sudden Money is right about the meta verified route, thats pretty much the only actual workaround these days. but even then you gotta get lucky with the support rep. some of them will just copy paste the generic response and close the ticket. if that happens you just gotta close it and try opening another chat until you get someone helpful who will actually escalate it. if you just wait on the standard id form it can easily get stuck in limbo for weeks... if it doesnt clear in 72 hours its usually blackholed tbh.
