If your sender is sending you USD from a country in the above list, we’ll have to reject the payment. It can take 3–10 working days, sometimes longer, until the money is back to them. If you didn’t get a SWIFT code, you can only receive money from within the United States. Whether or not you can have a SWIFT code depends on your address, see here: Can I get USD account details?
