I loaded 10 images taken in London, UK, on 12th January 2026. It is now 24th February, and they are still marked as In Review.

Is anyone else experiencing this delay?

Perhaps delete the pending files and re-upload?

It might be that they are questioning their 'safety' to be accepted, maybe depending on whether you submitted them as Creative or Editorial.
I've had some really odd rejections on files from London, of subjects which were accepted before and after, including even by me, and they took a long time.
In the old days you would get a message saying something like 'pending executive' or something which meant that the inspector had bumped the decision up to someone higher in the chain, and that could take a while. I haven't had the message for a while, but the files stay pending.

Or, they could be stuck in the queue, that also happens from time to time.

After 15 days, which applies to you, you can take out a Support Ticket:
Colntact Us > File Submission/Inspection/Publishing > you'll be able to work it out from there.
The last time I did that, they were inspected in just over 24 hrs, IIRC.

I received this in reply to my ticket (sent 16th March 2026) about a folder of editorial images which have not been reviewed after 15 days.

Thank you for contacting us.

We are experiencing a larger than normal volume of submissions at this time and our inspectors are working hard on getting caught up. Your files will be inspected in the order in which they were received. We ask for your patience as the inspectors make their way to your files.


I will go ahead and close this ticket. If you would like to reopen this ticket, please reply to the email notification of my response as replies via Account Management will not register a response if the ticket is closed. If you have another question or issue, please create a new ticket as we often need to assign tickets to different people and departments.

Sincerely,
Tony
