This is my sixth day here on Steemit but I'm having same issue.
I invited three peeps, my son, my sister and my friend, to get on board at Steemit. My son applied last week Friday, Feb 9th and both my sister and friend applied on Feb 11th.
All three did their phone verification but they still haven't received the 'Welcome to Steemit! Confirm Your Email' email with verification link.
My sister tried registering for Steemit Chat to get support but didn't get their registration email to verify either.
She also tried to start all over again using another email but system picked up her phone number and says it's already registered.
All three remain in limbo because they do not even know whether their application process was successfully completed.
My sister found and emailed the link to this post by @samstonehill for me. We'd all be so grateful for your help.
The standard wait time is up to seven days, so it would be good to wait at least that long before taking any action.
