Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that Sprint has approved your unlock request. Here is an article that will explain the steps needed to be processed to complete the unlock.

They also clearly state that Sprint Apple devices will not work with another US domestic carrier

You are better off selling your phone or trading it in if you want to switch carriers
Of course if you are going on an international trip and want it unlocked - Sprint will do that for you temporarily
I was with Sprint and so I know how they operate
