No it is not a particularly long wait, probably 3 weeks.
I am away from work so i do not have their web address handy.

Is it a very long wait to get a seed permit from APHIS after
submitting an application? This was a big subject last year, but it
didn't concern me until now, so I didn't pay attention. I'm
considering to import some Passiflora seeds from Costa Rica.
Thanks,
