Do your initial application photos get automatically accepted into iStock?

I'm looking to apply to istock, I've had two images approved and just need one more.

I've got a great shot of my niece blowing out a candle that I think would make a great stock photo, and could be the tipping point of getting me into iStock (I have no other people shots in the application)

However, I don't want this photo going onto general sale (as it's of my niece), I just want to use it in the application.  So my question is, if it was accepted (it might not be and this question is a complete waste of time!) would it go straight into the iStock collection?  Or would I have to resubmit?

Thanks.

No you have to resubmit them.

Thanks!  I guess I'll give it a shot then.

It couldn't go automatically into their systems simply because you'd have to have a model release and this option isn't available when you do the initial application.

I'm going to also let you know that files used in your application approval wont necessarily be approved for your live portfolio. So don't lose heart if the files aren't approved.
