How long do firms take to reimburse for travel expenses?

I traveled for multiple callbacks in NYC throughout August and haven't received any reimbursements yet. I submitted the NALP form to my host firm in late August when I was finished with all my callbacks.

4-6 weeks probably. Maybe 3 if the firm's accounting department is really on top of it, but this is the end of recruiting season, so it's likely gonna be on the later side for processing.

It can vary extremely widely. I got one check in a week, others have been 3 weeks with nothing.
