Microsoft Graph API delay fetching newly created guest user in Entra ID

I'm encountering an issue when working with Microsoft Entra ID and the Microsoft Graph API. After programmatically creating a new guest user in Entra ID, I attempt to fetch this user immediately using the Microsoft Graph API. However, sometimes the API does not return the newly created user.

I suspect this might be due to some synchronization or propagation delay within the system. Has anyone experienced similar issues, and are there recommended strategies to handle this delay? Are there any best practices for ensuring that the user data is available promptly after creation?
