How long does it take for Facebook to verify a photo ID?

A couple weeks ago Facebook asked me to send them a photo ID because I either had some fake information on my profile or I had violate the terms. I didn't read carefully and sent them just a picture. They replied to me within four days and said I needed to submit a government ID with my birth date, full name and address. So two weeks ago now I submitted my ID and still have not heard anything from them.

Any idea on how long it usually takes?

Thank you for your help! :)

Update:

Actually I did not get scammed. I am not the only person that has had this happen to. I have done my research to make sure that it wasn't a scam. The only thing I can't find is how long it takes them to get back to somebody. Instagram has also been doing this to their account holders. Both websites are doing to ensure that the people in the profiles are the actual people and that they are of age to have an account.

    Im having the same problem, I sent in my ID and they still have not reactivated my account. I only had my middle name on my FB as I didnt want my real last name shown for privacy reasons and apparently FB randomly decided that this was an issue. I have sent in my ID but I am still waiting... ARGH! Clearly FBook does not care about its users.

    The facebook employees have mania or have thoroughly long previous out of their concepts. First, this may be a social media and there are particularly some sickos available. Why might you commit to grant your actual call(somewhat in spite of if it extremely is unusual)? do you desire some psychological retard to look for you down utilising (i.e. White Pages)or the various cyber information superhighway information superhighway website to look for for the region you reside? difficulty-loose, answer me! I actual do no longer desire for somebody to delight in the region I precisely stay, my telephone style , etc. 2d, as long as yo do no longer junk mail or harass human beings on the facebook, there is not any reason to lock the account and ask for the identification. in spite of if one does no longer have too many facebook acquaintances it does no longer propose that the account is pretend.you need to use Aliases. you do no longer do something incorrect. third, giving out your identification on the cyber information superhighway is largely loopy! do you already be attentive to what your concepts is getting used for? do you already be attentive to if facebook account hasn't been hacked and the hacker is asking you to grant your very own concepts? ask your self how your concepts is going for use? by skill of utilising Whom? there is warning-do no longer grant out your very own concepts on the cyber information superhighway. next time, they are going to ask you to flow into your Social secure practices or your financial organisation account, will you do it? that's "freedom" that's worst then a Soviet Union.
