If Vodafone have sent your unlock request tonApple you need to allow up to 21 days for Apple to process the unlock.
No matter how often you can Apple the phone will always show as locked to Vodafone until Apple have completed the unlocking procedure which in only finalised when you have connected the phone to iTunes using a non Vodafone SIM card.

It is a matter of trying each day until you see the unlock message in iTunes.
