No, that's not true. Adsense doesnt care where you from, what they concern is the quality of the website, or saying the content of the website
i got rejected three time and approved on fourth time. So keep on post and keep on try. Never give up
Right. at least its status became clear, because of personal experience (myself as well as many others), I do not get any response from google. but do not give up mate, keep trying. hopefully next time will be approved. I tried more than 5 times, just finally approved.
