How long will it take for a waiver approval, specifically a vision waiver?

I recently went to meps for my physical exam . everything went smooth , yet I needed to get a waiver for my vision since I wear glasses , so I wasn’t able to swear in that day . the next day I Went to get my waiver , sent up to meps that very same day & now it has been a month since over heard anything . I do weekly check ups with my recruiter & he hasn’t heard anything .. can someone please tell me how long it will take or is this normal ?

I'm omw in and my vision hasn't been an issue. I wear glasses but but recruiter hasn't said anything about needing a waiver for it. I haven't been to MEPS yet but this concerns me. Does every recruit with glasses need a waiver or is there other circumstances besides just glasses that cause it?

I'm just wondering where you are at now? Did the waiver go through? I'm going through the same situation right now.
