Hello, after having phone issues, I factory reset it and completely forgot that I had Two-step verification set up for POLONIEX using the Google Authenticator app. I issued a support ticket for that as "Disable 2FA". Within 10 hrs, someone was assigned to see the issue. He replied to my ticket as:
"1) Please check your Poloniex-registered email address for a verification email containing a 6 digit code. Copy and paste that code into your response to this message.
2) Three of your most recent deposits, including:
the type of coin,
the exact amount,
Tx ID (also known as a transaction hash), and
date.
If you deposited coins from another exchange or a personal wallet, please check the other exchange or wallet to find this information.
3) A description of your recent trading activity. "
I submitted all the info in my response. Then I got another reply as:
"For the next step, we have disabled the 2FA but enabled access to your profile page so you can re-submit your information for verification. Please note that this will be the only part of the Poloniex website your account will be able to access during this step of the process. Please log in to your Poloniex account and proceed through the verification process to enter your current identification information.
***IMPORTANT: When the verification process asks for a photo of your face, please write "Poloniex" and the current date on a piece of paper and hold it alongside your face so that both are clearly visible in the picture.*** For an example of what this looks like, please see this article from our Support Center.
Please also be aware that this is a timed process and we therefore recommend preparing any documents you may need before beginning the process of updating your profile.

I did the same as I was told to and after 10 minutes, my account was re-enabled.!.
I think it mainly depends upon the type of request that you made, the assigned Poloniex support staff and the documents you upload alongside.
I suggest you all, just have patience in solving this sort of critical issue. And Please enable 2FA security on your Poloniex account and print the 16 digit backup to store in a safe place.
