Figured I'd ask here on this forum, instead of submitting an official support ticket with Bitstamp (which will further increase the backlogs of tickets, which will further increase the current verification times). Has anyone whos previously posted on this thread made any real progress?? Man, an official status update from Bitstamp would be so freaking awesome...but even that seems to be too much to ask for.
I'm not a fan of how misleading Bitstamp's website is. According to them, it clearly states that increased verification requests are "causing backlogs of up to 2 weeks before they are processed". Well it's obvious that processesing times are taking much longer than two weeks, so then why mislead the public? I'd rather them give a realistic estimate. If it's going to take f***ing 16 weeks to verify my account, then just tell me that from the get go.

I wanted to update this thread for anyone who might be following and/or still cares. So I first submitted my request and verification documents back on 12/29/2017. My account was FINALLY verified earlier this morning. So yes, verification for U.S. customers is a thing, it just might take you 42 days or so to get it done.
Hang in there people!!
