So I have been patiently waiting on my ¨Verify STEEM Account¨ to verify...
I sent in my .001 SBD 28 days ago, and for good measure I sent in another .001 SBD 17 days ago.
After submitting quite a few support tickets over the past month, I finally received an email from support saying Done, sorry for the delay. So now I am at the third part of the Verification and Authorization process...

Unlock STEEM Account
Let us use your STEEM account

How long will it take to unlock my acct? 
I honestly do not know.
I hope to read a comment or more on this..
