Hi @Ndacyayisenga-droid,

It takes GitHub a few business days to a week to review and approve your application for GitHub sponsorship. The approval process for GitHub Sponsors can vary depending on a number of factors. Typically, This is because the GitHub team needs to review your application to ensure it meets their guidelines. They may need to verify your identity, check your project's relevance, and ensure that it adheres to their terms of service.

Hi @Ndacyayisenga-droid,

I'm the Engineering Manager for GitHub Sponsors. I understand how it can be hard to submit your application for the program and wait for it to be approved. It can take our staff some time to review your application and process it. If approved, you can start setting up your profile. You can read more about the process here.
