Hello and welcome,
New accounts may take some time until your ads are approved and your billing details are verified and finally the account gets activated.
It might happen that you might start seeing the statistics accumulating in sometime because performance doesn’t get updated instantly. It is suggested to wait up to 24 hours to see the updated data.

I have waited close to four days for approval. Getting a little frustrated. Thinking I had done something wrong, I deleted my first ad group and started from scratch. Worried that this just started the process over again and I'll still be waiting days from now. Some explanation would be great.

yes, changing most anything starts the process over again.
generally, to help speed-up the approval process, be certain that the
entire account, keywords, ads, landing-pages, entire website, business,
business-practices, and business-model, adhere to all current policies,

community-members cannot explain account-specific review details.
