How long does a hotline from retention take to come back?

I sent up a hotline so I can re-enlist and PCS on April 17th, I check in with retention once a week and still haven’t heard anything back. I know that the timeline differs depending on the duty station and MOS but it’s been almost 3 weeks and I know other soldiers in the same MOS/rank who sent up their hotline and heard back within the same week, who sent their hotline up after I did. Could it be taking so long due to me having to waive joint domicile? My husband ETSes on Wednesday so I was wondering if they could possibly be waiting on his ETS to get back to me.

Also, you've surely got to realize that with the Army, especially with this COVID situation, EVERYTHING, is going to be longer, and more miserable.
