UPDATE:
Got a new message from a rep on CC app.[1/10/2013 11:22:53 AM EST] xxx, Alexandria:we will need you to establish membership with us
[1/10/2013 11:57:23 AM EST] Dane xxx:Yes, the membership is in process. I have provided all of the information necessary. Thank you for your response.

Im in NY(mabey thats why?), and I was prepared as I read from others about the documentation requirements. I have no issue with someone who wants to verify my identilty,its good for me as well as them at the end of the day!
Same here. I'm local and all I had to do was show my license and tell them my SSN when I went into a branch. I'm wondering if it's a combination if things in the report coupled with being remote that makes them be really cautious. I went in with my SS card, birth cert, passport and last paycheck stub but didn't need any of them. Maybe I just have an honest face.

Obtaining a new SSN card was my only hiccup, and it really wasn't bad, 20 minute ride and about another 20 minute wait at the SS office. Was pleased with the CL as it got me above the 5k mark. 
Keep in mind I apped yesterday around 2PM so it hasnt been an eternity. But, longer than I would expect for an app for anything to take.
Starting Score: 530 (EQ) 03-2012

They seem to move slower than nomal, so keep the faith!
UPDATE:
DENIED
| Denial Reasons | Credit too new to rate. Income insufficient for amount of credit requested. Limited credit experience. |
I do not know about my membership status yet, I will update as soon I receive the info.
Amount of credit requested? I didnt even request an amt i just apped for the CC! come on man!
I tried.. back to the garden I go hopefully someone will learn from my mistakes
I suppose I could see the denial of the CC with your current scores. But I'd be surprised if they deny a membership as long as you give them the right documentation and don't have a bad Chexsystems report (I assume they check this). As for the CC, maybe you can establish an otherwise good banking relationship as a member and reapply in a few months once your numbers are up a bit. Good luck! Keep us apprised of the membership decision.
Since one of their reasons is the length of history, how long have you had your other cards open?
