How long does electronically submitting form 2848 processing take?

Hi all, I am helping my mom and my step dad for their income tax dispute/matters from a few years back hence I need to submit the form 2848 to irs so that I can speak and act on their behalf. On Jan 22, I signed into irs using my mom's irs online account and electronically submitted the form 2848. My step dad passed away at the end of last year, so I only submitted one form 2848 to irs. I did not get a confirmation email even though irs claims that I should've gotten one. Also irs claims that submitting 2848 using a tax pro account takes only six business days to process. But it's been more than six business days and I still have not heard from them. I don't think my mom's irs online tax is "tax pro"so I am not sure if that is the reason that it took more than six business days, but it let me filed anyways.. Can anyone help with this? Thank you so much.
