I think the most I've ever heard before is an hour and change.

It's pushing 3 hours according to the recording!!
 
called in a few weeks ago and it was 4 1/2 hr wait!

just an FYI - the wait was about 30 min in reality
 
Monday (which I know is a busy day for them) I had to wait 3 hours and some change for a call back!
 
Today it told me it was an hour and a half at the least and I decided to wait. I only waited 15 minutes, so I suggest trying to hang tight and put it on speaker phone if you're able to.
 
Mine was 2 hours and 38 mins wait time and they called me back 2 hours later. LOL
 
I was told 1 hr and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 9 minutes. I don't know how long I waited, but it was a while before they called back.

good to know not everyone has waited the full time for a super long call back. i waited almost exactly 4 1/2 hours that day. i just figure if i call at least i can have them call me back and not sit on the phone forever. i just make sure it is a time that i can afford to be by my phone, i'm i'm getting ready to leave i will give my cell #. if i knew how to forward my calls i would do that too.
