Contact the VEs that administered the test. Their names and call-signs will be on the certificate you walked out with. You can use a call-sign search to get their address. Until the FCC gets the information they don't know you exist. The information has various routes to get there with the mail being the slowest. All routes dependent on the VEs making a timely handoff.
It does seem like a long time.
Good luck with your efforts to track it down.

Edit Add: I assumed you are doing a lookup on the FCC site for your call-sign or are you waiting for the paper license in the mail. As I recall the paper came 2-3 weeks after the FCC database update.
Good news:
I called the FCC first anyways, because the VE wasn't available until after 6, so I decided to see if the FCC received any info.
Anddd well what do ya' know! They just listed my call today.
