I have applied for the model access more than a week ago, I'm curious when the request will be reviewed.
I'm part of Microsoft Founders Hub (startup grant)

Hello Mirkenan Kazımzade,
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
The review timeline for model access requests through Microsoft Founders Hub typically ranges from 7 to 14 business days, depending on demand and verification requirements. As a startup grant recipient, your application is prioritized but still undergoes manual validation to ensure compliance with Azure OpenAI’s usage policies and technical requirements.
If your request has exceeded 10 business days, consider:
Delays may occur if your use case requires additional security reviews (e.g., sensitive domains like healthcare or finance). For urgent needs, escalate via your Microsoft for Startups contact (if assigned).

If you’ve already submitted a request for model access and haven't received a response, I recommend reaching out directly to the Microsoft support team at csgate@microsoft.com. They handle access requests for Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub and can provide more clarity on the status of your request.
