Timeline until offer letter?

This is for an offer-based internship at a PE arm of a BB bank in Asia (regional office)

Had a final round with MD 8 days ago

Got anxiety problems and followed up w/ the associate I had an interview with 2 days later (6days ago): He said MD has decided to go forward with me and passed my name on to HR. Said this will take time as HR is very sluggish (as always)

I know these things take time but I am yet to even receive a verbal offer from HR... Would the associate telling me that MD chose me be passable for a very unofficial verbal offer? How long would you expect for an official offer letter from HR?
