Slow Review Process?

I've noticed the review process seems to have slowed down considerably. I uploaded and submitted some clips for review on the 1st of this month and still haven't either gotten approval or rejection on any of them. Anybody else facing similar problems?

Yeah it took the last batch longer then normal. They have a ton of people submitting work though so depending on how many at one time are submitting work makes all the difference.

Takes 2 months at iStock. Count your blessings, or in your case Grayscale, your bullets.

Haha, why are you so convinced I'm gonna get shot one of these days. Pakistan is actually quite a safe place, contrary to popular belief...

Remember Grayscale, it's not the bullet that actually kills you. It's the hole it makes. I got machine gunned during the street fighting here last year. All the other conflict journalists were in combat gear. I had a hawaiian shirt, a baseball cap, a Canon HV-30 and Birkenstocks. Turned out all the shots were blanks, but couldn't know that at the time.
Here's of a about 45 burning buses rolled down the street towards the police/troops.

I'll keep your experience and advice in mind next time I think of walking into a street fight unarmed!! Glad to hear the shots were blank :)
And you can call me Akbar

Yeah see you just gotta chill and be patient, they get to it as fast as they can. It's really quick most of the time, it's pretty rare that it isn't. When it's not I just worry more about what curator probably has the flu then any thing.

Should I be worried? I have clips in my queue from March 3 -- that's 12 days ago now. Admittedly most of my clips have been in the queue for just over a week, but that's still longer than usual here. I hope the curator is feeling ok. :-)
