That's a good sign. Your friend will get a reply, it just usually takes a while. Not sure about the time line between when they pull it and when they send the reply, but I don't think its a big time difference.

Make sure all your monthly updates are right too. There's I think at least 2 places to update your times (in type, total and I think maybe another place for total) as well as most recent flight and approaches in the last 6 and 12 months. Eventually you'll get good at it, but the first several times, fine tooth comb it big time.
