re: "hi it's been more than 48 hours now, and my account still didn't approved. is that normal ?"

Yes.

This is normal.

48 hours is NOT how long it takes for an account to be approved.

48 hours is a goal that somebody once set for how long they would like it to take, and then somebody else wrote that goal into a message that is displayed to prospective new freelancers.

It's the weekend. Quite likely nobody is working on this over the weekend.

It might take 2 business days, not 48 hours. It might take a week. Be patient.
