Submissions approved. But no pokestops in Pokemon GO and NO portal are live in Ingress!

So I had two pokestop submissions approved this week. Both were close
to existent POI's, but I certified that the locations of my submissions were
in blank s2 cells (l17 in Go and l19 in Ingress)
When I submitted, I chose the point in map that would be
inside of l17 cells with no POI's. Also I checked if this point
were ok in l19 cells too. Both submissions were approved, but they
did not appear in Intel Map! I asked a friend of mine that play
Ingress to verify if they were in Ingress map and they were not.
He said that neither one appeared in the game. Looks like they were not
approved although the email I recieved from Niantic said that they're were approved.
It should have appeared in Ingress at right moment I
recieve the confirmation and they didn't.
As I said, I checked the position twice before submitting.
I chose a point that would be in blank cells. It should have worked. What I did wrong?

There's a number of things that could be happening.
There is no l19 requirement or rule. There is a 20m requirement though.
@Kakushinteki-PGO PoGo acceptance emails do not differentiate whether new waypoints are able to sync into PoGo, but they also do not mention if they are within 20m and therefore unable to go live in ANY of Niantic's games.
The silver lining is that you can retry and (assuming the pin can still be placed on the item being nominated) place the location at least 20m from any existing waypoints. The "approved" nominations you already submitted will not show up as possible duplicates and you will have a fresh start.
Good luck!
