Body

I submitted a request 2 days ago, but it never got approved.

In my dashboard, I see:

I've filled out all the required information, so I don't know what else is missing from my application.
Can you help me?

Hi! The "Pending" state for GitHub Sponsors is completely normal —
it just means your application is in the review queue waiting
for a GitHub staff member to manually approve it.

A few things to know:

• Review times can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks
• The message "Your profile will go live as soon as it's approved
  by a staff member" confirms everything is submitted correctly
• There is nothing missing — the pending state does not mean
  your application is incomplete

What you can do:

• Be patient and wait for GitHub staff to review your profile
• Make sure your profile has a bio, avatar, and some public
  repositories to strengthen your application
• If it's been more than 2-3 weeks, contact GitHub Support
  at support.github.com to follow up

Hope your profile gets approved soon!
