3 months later after hitting the requirements to get monetized on youtube and i still cant get an answer as if my channel is even being reviewed. My channel is partnered and has been since before the monetization changes earlier this year @TeamYouTube it hurts 
Damn that’s bad, I mean if you’ve ticked all the right boxes they should sort it out right away.
I know it’s discouraging try and stay positive as best you can, hopefully you’ll get it sorted soon.
@TeamYouTube do the lad a solid and help him out.
