How long does it take for a villager to get into boxes?

[honeyaura]

Margie never gave me a moving date when she requested to leave today. Anyone know when villagers get into boxes? In case someone wants to adopt her.

Thanks!

I want to say its the next day, but I haven't confirmed that myself.

Can confirm its the day after, Drago asked to move yesterday and he is in boxes today.

Can I go out to adopt another villager when one is in boxes or do they need to officially move out first?

They need to actually be moved out (the day after boxes, empty plot.)
