pending approval for 6 days now

[xcoderx]

i have submitted a project to be approved & it has been 6 days now & counting, it says it takes up to 5 business days but here it's the 6th & nothing so far

i know the project is totally fine because there are similar projects to this that got approved but mine is taking almost a week now & no response from upwork

does it take longer than this???

Clients have 14 days to approve a project before payment is released.

If this is what you are referring to, please know that project reviews take about 5 business days. Please allow time for the team to complete their review. You can check the status from here.

Me too. I'v submitted my project 9 days ago and it's still pending...

The same thing goes with me, I've also submitted a project to be approved, and now it's the 6th day but its status is still under review "pending approval".

Will it take more time than this in my case???
