Other than situations like Finland and Sweden, getting into NATO is a very long process. And the further you are from meeting the ideal standards, the longer the process is. It took Albania 10 years to be invited after NATO engaged them in the Membership Action Plan process (which is where prospective countries show they're capable of reaching the required standards), and that's a step Ukraine still hasn't even gotten close to. North Macedonia took even longer; they started their MAP in 1999 and weren't admitted until 2019.
