Windows Azure SQL Azure Marketplace
In conjunction with the release of the Windows Azure SDK and Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio release 1.3 and the new Windows Azure Management Portal, we've launched beta availability of the Windows Azure Virtual Machine Role and Extra Small Windows Azure Instance, as well as a CTP of Windows Azure Connect.
If you are interested in joining either of these programs, you can request access directly through the Windows Azure Management Portal. Requests will be processed on a first come, first served basis. We appreciate your interest and look forward to your continued engagement with the Windows Azure platform.

I signed up 2 days ago for Azure Connect and VM Role.
How long approximately does it take to be accepted?
I am working on a project with very strict time schedule and it is really an urgent matter to be able to use Azure Connect CTP as soon as possible.
@Pavel: We are approving requests on a first come, first served basis as quickly as we can. We appreciate your patience.
Still pending after 3 weeks or more :-(
