As a rule, banks are able to approve within two weeks. Sometimes the process can take up to a month, but only if a bank needs to verify some information. In some cases (usually for applicants with good credit), banks are able to provide approval within a couple of business days. When approved, your card should arrive in the mail within a week or two. Some banks offer expedited delivery, but usually it is not a free service. Note, that you can always contact the bank you applied with to find out the status of your application. Some banks even allow to do this online on their websites.
