writing in associate content

I write in Associated Content as well, and am a non US citizen. From what I remember, they took three or four days at least, to publish my first article, and since then I've been able to publish immediately. They notified me by e-mail when they published, so if you haven't had an e-mail saying they didn't publish it, then your article is still being passed for publishing. Don't worry about it... I'm sure you'll hear soon. It's a good site to work with. Brightest Blessings.
