Don't get me wrong here. This is, currently, not my problem. But it was once, long ago.
I suffered the indignity of solving the Captcha, over and over, for at least a week. And unlike many here, I don't just write a blog post. I write, and rewrite, and rewrite the rewrite. Then I add a couple links, to other posts, and reverse link those posts to my latest post. So each post, for me, would be a dozen (minimum) publishes, and a dozen (minimum) opportunities for me to solve the damn Captcha.
Then somebody wrote here about the link, which I had looked at each time I solved the Captcha.
DOHH. I clicked on the link. Two more clicks, and I was done. I got a bot reply an hour later, and same day, a final reply.
I logged out of Blogger and back in, and posted a test. No more Captcha.
Unfortunately, not everybody has an easy experience like that. Many people write that they have submitted the request from
at least once, and they are still waiting for service. And to them, I say
It takes maybe 10 seconds to submit the request.
How long did it take for you to write your latest complaint? How long did it take for you to read this post?
Submit it again. Daily, if you post that often.
(Edit 12/9): The anti-splog whitewashing process, which also involves solving a captcha, appears to suffer from problems. We'll discuss those problems in My Blog Is NOT Spam #2.
(Edit 10/15): It appears that now we have a "?" next to "Word Verification", and clicking on that will take you to the review request form.
(Edit 10/3): Some folks have reported seeing just a "?", where the "My blog is not spam" would be. And clicking on the link brings them simply to the Blogger Help documentation. Well, nobody ever successfully accused Blogger of being totally consistent, or insightful. My regrets to you, if that's what you're faced with.

It was a royal pain!
How often did you resubmit the "My blog is not spam" form?
This is where I suggest that you follow the 3 step process, concluding with posting in BHF: Something Is Broken.
I am facing a problem , when I am trying to open my blog ,it's showing "The Blog you were looking for was not found !!!!!!
In my Blogger Dashboard it's showing "Restore access to this blog. Learn more".but when I am trying to restore my blog it's showing "Your blog is not locked and does not need a review.

You have a known problem, and you need to report this in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, so Blogger can be advised.
