Yes, what you're describing is incredibly common. What we're hearing is that small community banks were most successful at actually getting this money into the hands of businesses, whereas the large banks were fairly slow. (And many startup-specific banks were just completely unprepared for it.)
My advice is: continue to work with your lender to get your application squared away so that it's fully ready to be submitted to the SBA as soon as additional funds are allocated (since I can't imagine that those will last long either.)
