Sometimes you invite people to your group, yet they never seem to appear in your Request to Join list.  There’s an easy way to solve this:

1. The invitee may have just joined LinkedIn and they haven’t yet confirmed their email address.  As soon as they activate their account, then they’ll show up for approval on your Request to Join list.
2. On occasion, you might mistakenly invite them to your personal network as opposed to your group – so they definitely wouldn’t appear on the “Join” list.

Finally, there could be an email deliverability problem.  The individual who just joined may have not received the email for confirming their original LinkedIn account.  Again, until they confirm that link, they won’t be able to do anything in LinkedIn, including joining your group.  In this case, you might suggest they use a different email account and see if they can confirm using the new email address.
