Estimated Time for Approval of YouTube Partner Program [Updated January 2018]

As found there are thousands of YouTube Channels who are waiting for the approval of their Partnership Application with YouTube. Most of them are thinking that when will YouTube accept/reject their application for YouTube Partner Program YPP?

As per research we have found that YouTube Channels who applied for the YouTube Partnership Program on/or after November 20, 2017 are facing this problem. While now YouTube Officials has also confirmed the same that they are having issue with accepting the YouTube Partnership Program Application in Processing and they will process them as soon as possible.

Applications for the YouTube Partner Program are taking longer than normal to process. We hope to be able to review these applications soon. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

This is what everyone can see on their Monetization Tab.

Now the question is that Why YouTube is taking that much time in processing YouTube Partner Program Application?

If anyone of you has been a YouTube Partner for a long, they better know the answer for this question, but are not thinking of that. Every YouTube Partner knows that companies around the world spends billions of dollars on advertising their product in December, this can be seen on Analytics page that YouTube Partners earns the most in DECEMBER every year. As YouTube has introduced a new method of approval of Partners Application so that only quality channels could be approved and hence Advertisers could find better results, therefore YouTube is not processing the YouTube Partner Program in December 2017 so that those products could be advertised only on already running partners channels for providing better results to advertisers. I hope this question is answered that Why YouTube is taking too much time in processing application for YouTube Partner Program YPP?

Now when the reason is cleared everyone will have another question in mind that When will YouTube Process application of new YouTube Channels for YouTube Partner Program?

The answers is that after the CHRISTMAS  2017.
As soon as the huge amount spent by advertisers in December 2017 YouTube will start processing those new channels, because in my view YouTube doesn't want to give that huge amount to the new YouTube Channels in order to satisfy their advertisers as no doubt whole of the YouTube is running by those advertisers.

Note: As per latest information from YouTube applications will be reviewed by the end of January 2018. Only those channel will be reviewed which has 4000+ hours watch time in past 12 months and above 1000 subscribers.

We have tried our best to satisfy you with this article, but if you still have any suggestions, or questions you can ask that in the comments, we will try our best to provide you the answers as soon as possible.
