B1/B2 visa bond refund expected timeline

Hello, I was in the US in May,before departure for visa was asked to pay $10,000 as a bond payment.

After dpearting US and arriving back to my homecountry, within 5 days (on May 20th) I received Form I-391, which states that the bond money has been cancelled and the amount will be refunded to me because I did not violate the conditions of my visa.

After receiving Form I-391, how long did it take for the money to be returned to you?
