Status Match Response Time?

Hey,

I am UA *G and have upcoming trips on DL (where I have no status) to Australia. So, I figured I should go ahead and go for a gold match since I'll cross the minimum using just the one round trip.

The flight is in 15 days -- do you think DL will have me matched by then? Currently I'm stuck in a middle seat in coach -- hoping a match can improve my seating a bit...

Thanks
