For those who've dealt with frozen assets - how long does it typically take to get funds released once you've submitted all the required documentation to OFAC?

Timeline varies widely depending on case complexity. Simple cases where it's clearly mistaken identity might resolve in a few months. More complex situations involving detailed investigations can drag on for a year or longer. OFAC doesn't have statutory deadlines for responding to unblocking requests, which is frustrating. In my experience, the completeness of your initial submission matters a lot - if you submit incomplete information, they'll request more, which resets the clock. I tracked several case studies on ofacblockedfundslawyers.com and the range was anywhere from 4 months to 18 months. During this period, the assets remain frozen, so plan accordingly. Following up periodically with OFAC can help, but they're overwhelmed with cases. Make sure your initial submission is as comprehensive as possible.
