long wait to get a "Safe" rating from SafeWeb

Similar to other webmasters on this board I am experiencing a long wait time for obtaining a "Safe" rating for the sites I run for work and outside of work.

 

18 days ago I verified our business website: www.hhhincorporated.com

 

and 

 

9 days ago I verified my personal website: www.thediabeteshomepage.com

 

We have received a few inquiries by phone asking why we have not received the "Safe" rating on the business site and once people realize we have been in business since 1959 and that we offer secure online shopping through a shopsite shopping cart and SSL Certificate from GoDaddy, all concerns are calmed.

 

What is the standard lead time on these approvals and what can be done to speed up the process?

 

[edit: renamed subject for clarity.]
