Non-skippable ads approval? How long?

A few days ago I submitted for YT to enable non-skippable instream ads on my videos.

For those of you that have done this, about how long did it take for it to show up on your channel? It says it can take up to a week on there, but I wanted to see what others actually experienced.
 
Thank you for your reply!

Have you noticed a difference in your analytics with this feature, Rod?

Yes definitely. You read warnings about higher abandonment rates etc, but it's been positive for me. Thanks for your post, because it reminded me to activate it on a new channel that i'm about to start shortly. So by the time I start uploading, it will be available :)
 
Thank you for sharing your experience!

Do you know how long this feature has been enabled for? I'm hoping it hasn't been super long because I have been doing YT for years and never new about it until now!!

I believe around 18 months or so.

Hi again :)

Did they activate the non skippables for you?. I activated it on my new channel on Jan 27, and still waiting :(

No.... I'm still waiting, too. I was actually just coming back to the forum to see if anyone else has had to wait weeks and weeks for this, or if there is something else I need to click to confirm activation?

Usually 3-4 days.

Shane...are you part of a network? I know this happens really fast for network folks (or at least I would assume it does!)
