Account not un-banned after 5 days

Last friday my account was approved for unbanning. I changed my password, but my account has not been unbanned yet. I was under the impression that the unban would have been effective immediatly after approval by the mods. Is it normal that a week or two go by after the mods have lifted the ban?
