Typically, it seems to take at least two to three weeks for an application to complete processing and have a decision rendered by AdSense. For sites that receive no organic search traffic, it can take months. AdSense says three days on their notice but that is woefully optimistic on their part. Generally speaking, the longer it takes to get an answer on an application, the less likely that it will be approved.
Delays in processing applications are usually one of these reasons: (website, blogger application)
1. Improper implementation of the adcode. This will cause your application to stall and never be processed. Solution: Check your implementation carefully to be sure it is correct. Fix it promptly.
2. New site with no organic search traffic. This will cause your application to take many months to process. Solution: Wait. New sites are especially prone to this problem. It can take up to six months before a new site is indexed properly so that organic search traffic flows to your site.
3. Established site with no organic search traffic. This will cause your application to take many months to process. Sites with useless content never get indexed. Solution: Don't publish useless content. Find another ad broker or consider your site as a hobby.
Since more than 90% of applications for new full AdSense accounts or upgrades are rejected, it's highly likely that your application will be rejected as well. Essentially, successful applications require a website with substantial commercial potential. Typically, the longer it takes for AdSense to answer on your application, the less chance there is of an approval and rejection becomes inevitable.
If it has been more than two months and there is still no answer, you can try again to submit your application using a different Google account that has never had anything to do with AdSense. Doing this more than once could reduce your chances even further and may cause your website to be placed on the "pre-disapproved" list.
If your website gets at least 300,000 pageviews a month as shown in Google Analytics, and it has to be that product, then you can ask AdSense directly. If your site doesn't get that much traffic and you use this form, expect no answer. I doubt the request would even get through in that case.
If applying for a YouTube hosted AdSense account:
Delays in processing applications for YouTube usually are due to a previous application for a website, blogger or AdMob that was rejected. Please try again using a different Google account that has never been associated with AdSense before. You can associate this Google account with your channel by going into the monetize tab, then select "How will I get paid?", then select "Use a different Google account." This is where you enter that new Google account. It should take about three days for your YouTube AdSense account to be processed. If your channel doesn't already have 10,000 or more views, you may not be allowed to monetize it yet.
Please ask YouTube questions on the YouTube forum.
