That makes no sense at all man...you have adsense if your videos are monetized. In fact there isn't a review period it just automatically gives you adsense if you want it from what I remember. They review your videos sometimes if you enable ads on a video but if you have the option to enable ads already that means you have it.
When you become partner it's all automatic. All you have to do is click on a link then send you in a e-mail.
Still not making sense to me. Does your video manager looks like this next to the stats?
Does it have the money symbol?
Right I was asking the other guy. You're a partner then if you see the claim button instead of the dollar symbol.
