It typically takes 24-48 hours for you return to get accepted. In some cases it could take longer.  It's like traveling, sometimes traffic causes delays and that happens in cyberspace as well. Heavy traffic sometimes causes slower arrival time.  See the FAQ below for additional information regarding a pending status: What does pending mean?
