how long is account verification taking?
Ignore the other response, by Kumpel... So much bullshit and FUD in here.
Account *verification* once all documents are submitted takes less than a week usually.
And about the additional AML/KYC questions: it seems you get a set of additional questions when you make large withdrawals or deposits. A number of users already said that, once you answer them, transfers go out quick (within a few days at most). If, on the other hand, you signed up on the exchange with a fake name, well... then it might take a bit longer

Excuse me, why should my response be ignored? I signed up and got verified (photo ID, bank acc in my name) with my real name. I am waiting now more, not less, than a week for some obscure in-transparent KYC crap. To me it looks like bitstamp doesn't want to pay, nothing else. This stands until I see my money in my account.
