Which paper are you referring to?  
I can see two claimed papers under your profile.  
Is the “Pending” status for one of these, or is it for a different paper?

@Omarrran Thanks for clarifying.  
I can see your claim request in the system. But approval isn’t instant. It goes through a review step, so it’s normal for it to show “Pending” for a while (typically up to ~1 day, and sometimes longer on weekends/holidays). Thanks for your patience. It will be processed in the usual order.
