ITIN credit card applications
u/Money_Car_2677r/CreditCardsJan 23, 2026
After those 5 months today I closed the secured card and got approved for a Capital One Savor (unsecured) with a $500 limit 🎉
Yes—two days without an update after uploading documents is not unusual; Capital One says applications needing extra review can take about 7–10 business days.
“I recently got my ITIN and applied for a Capital One Savor card. I was asked to upload verification documents, which I did, but it's been two days and I haven't heard back. Is this normal?”
Summary
A request for verification documents can be part of a pending application; silence for two days after upload does not tell you that Savor was denied. Capital One has not published a separate deadline for responding to an uploaded document, so the useful next check is whether it received what you sent.
You can check this application in one of two ways, depending on whether Capital One emailed you an Application Center link.
If Capital One emailed you a linkemail link
Use that link to check your application and provide information if requested; Capital One expressly offers this route to applicants who received a link. If its SSN-labeled sign-in does not recognize your ITIN application, use the phone route instead. [Capital One status guidance](https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/how-to-check-capital-one-application-status).
If you have no link or cannot sign incall instead
Call Capital One’s application-status line at **800-903-9177**. Tell them you applied for Savor with an ITIN and uploaded documents two days ago; ask whether the documents were received and whether anything else is needed. Capital One says you can call to check status anytime. [Capital One FAQ](https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/faq).
Two days without an update after uploading documents does not, by itself, establish approval or denial.

Watch out for
The clock does not start at uploadCapital One says it will send a written decision within 7–10 days of your application, while its separate guidance says some applications take about 7–10 business days to review. Neither gives a deadline measured from your document upload. Federal rules require notice of action within 30 days after Capital One receives a ; an application still missing information you can provide has a separate notice rule. [Capital One FAQ](https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/faq); [Capital One review guidance](https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-a-credit-card/); [12 CFR 1002.9](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1002/9/).
An ITIN is not an approvalCapital One says some of its cards may be available with an , but says issuers decide which cards are available to ITIN applicants. Its published statement does not promise approval for your Savor application; the document request alone does not tell you the outcome. [Capital One ITIN guidance](https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/what-is-an-itin/).
The status instructions say SSNCapital One’s published status instructions list the last four digits of a Social Security number, date of birth and ZIP code; they do not explain whether an ITIN works in that sign-in field. If the online route does not recognize your application, use Capital One’s application-status phone number, 800-903-9177, and explain that you applied with an ITIN.

Follow up on the decision, not a two-day upload clock
Capital One’s FAQ says it will notify you in writing within 7–10 days of your application, so call the same status line if that period has passed without a decision. Under 12 CFR 1002.9(a)(1)(i), the federal action-notice period is 30 days after Capital One receives a completed application—not automatically 30 days after your upload. If it sends a formal missing-information notice, respond within the period stated in that notice.
