Do you have to wait a while after quick employer forms for employee to file tax return?

I work for my dad and I filed the W2 for the business for him using quick employer forms. When I click "status" after my name as the employee of listed w2 files it says "SSA accepted the e-filed form on Feb 22, 2023"(First of all the date was still the middle of the day of Feb 21st and as I am typing this, it is midnight and just turned the 22nd). Anyway I tried to file and it says the SSA doesn't have my correct name or SSN on file. Do I just need to wait a few days or a week or so for things to go through or update?

The SSA may take 1-2 business days to process your W-2. However, the processing time may differ based on the return volume handled by the SSA. Most W-2s have already been filed. You may want to wait for 3 or 4 business just to be on the safe side.
