well, if you are abot to create a new account freely ,it will take upto 2 weeks for the procedure. also, i think they are giving 10 sp now for newly created accounts rather than 15 sp that was given earlier.
meanwhile, if you can buy a starter pack of steemmonster (10$ usd), you will get an instant free steem-account with that! I got a gift of a starter pack and i used it to open a new account instantly. hope my comment has helped you. for more info, you can ask me here friend!
