Did you guys received the approval email for the whitelist? I am stuck at phase 2 (reviewing) for like 20 days or more. Is this normal? First it said it will take a few days then 7-10 days and now? What is happening? 
If you tried to whitelist and havent received any response yet, I would try again before the period is over. If you do not get a positive response the second time of trying to whitelist, it may mean that you missed out. All in all you will eventually get a response in good time. It seems as if most whitelist actors are being processed due to large number of applicants.
