Usually few days.
SF is very fast in scheduling, if not, then something happens to your case. Suggest write a letter to the IO.

Should not be worried. Recommending for approval means your case has been pre-approved. It is subjected to be approved. 

It has been left somewhere on the supervisor desk. What we do is to make a copy of an interview result, send directly to an IO (whose name on it). 

Good luck to you.

Don’t be panicked. Worry will not make your case faster, but it will affect negatively to your mood and performance in daily life. 

Did you write a letter to the IO ? If yes, give them a week or so. I haven’t written any letter to her IO because she hasn’t given me the Interview result.
