Hi! I'm maintainer of https://github.com/nevalang/neva programming language and was trying to get into GitHub sponsorship program for about a month or something. Here's the page https://github.com/sponsors/nevalang (not sure if it's publicly available).

Could you please help me figure out if I did anything wrong?

Hi @emil14!

You can open a ticket on our Support page so they can review your specific account details.

Hello! I understand your concern regarding the pending status of your GitHub Sponsors profile for the Neva programming language. Let's work through this together.

1. Application Timeline: Typically, GitHub reviews sponsorship applications within a few days. However, some users have reported longer waiting periods. For instance, in a GitHub Community Discussion, a user mentioned their application was pending for two weeks. Given that your application has been pending for about a month, it's reasonable to seek further clarification.

2. Common Issues and Resolutions: There have been instances where users received approval emails, but their profiles remained in a "Pending" state. This was highlighted in a recent discussion. While this may not directly apply to your situation, it's essential to ensure that all required steps have been completed:

Profile Completion: Ensure your sponsored developer profile is fully completed.
Sponsorship Tiers: Create and define your sponsorship tiers.
Bank and Tax Information: Submit all necessary bank and tax details.
Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication on your GitHub account.
Detailed guidance on these steps can be found in the GitHub Sponsors documentation.

3. Next Steps: Given the duration your application has been pending, it's advisable to contact GitHub Support directly:

Submit a Support Ticket: Visit the GitHub Support page and select "GitHub Sponsors" as the topic. Provide them with all relevant details about your application and the duration it has been pending.
By reaching out, GitHub Support can offer specific insights into your application's status and assist in resolving any potential issues.
