I've had stuff in queue for a while there, and sometimes stuff gets done in a few days.  I'm happy with them...they're in my #3 spot for this month so far.

BTW, for the OP, I got in on my second attempt.

CofkoCof is asking about application submissions, I believe, not regular submissions.

actually with stockXpert i just got approved. it was fast. i think 1-2 days, or somewhere in between.
i submitted my 4 photographs and gave a good intro to myself.
and it was approved almost immediately.
now i'm waiting for my review to my first 6 submissions.

but i am very selective with my photos now , not like when i first started a month ago with the others.  lesson learned i guess.

now i'm waiting for Istock. just joined them last night .

Got in on STockX first try, but the stuff is just laying there. Small group but still think I should e getting some views at least.

Next step for StockX is to do a sales analysis there of what does sell there and take a good look at my descriptions and keywording.

I also got in the first time I tried a month ago... but so far no effect from them... I have there about 80 images (30 still pending), but all I got yet was just a few views... I hope it'll get better through the time.

It's about 2 days since I applied, hopefully they will soon tell me that I passed

I recently got in on first try (unless I tried out so long ago, I don't remember it), but I have very, very small portfolio there.

As many have said before, it's hard to predict much about this business.
For example, I need to come up with 3rd photo to get accepted to isp, and don' t have clue what "safest" image would be.  smiles - Ann

they have a list that tells you "what we don't want you to send us".
also, look at their top sellers. this will give you an idea.
good luck.
i got in very quickly, but i also got my first 2 rejects just as quickly.
at least, they're fast. and their rejects have a good reason of explanation. not just "we don't want this snapshot!"

Still pending, the waiting is killing me Wanna get accepted and dump my portfolio there

Finally got accepted, uploading in progress

First time....very few rejections after uploading 90 images.  Strange given my acceptance rate at IS is only 29%.  Strange how this varies so widely from photographer to photographer.
