All new Registrations are manually reviewed and approved, so a short delay after registration may occur before your account becomes active.
ARIN costs, wait time, probability, etc
1) We have always rented our ips but seeing that ipv4 space is almost at an end, I was thinking of applying for a /24 . I have read their fee schedule at https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html, from the looks of it, its going to be reg+ASN+allotment, something in the order of almost $1500 first time ? then an annual of xx-small $500 ?
2) If i have very solid justification , what chances do i have of getting the space because I am sure a lot other people will be applying too.
3) If the application moves ahead, what is the time frame of registration > application > allotment ?
4) What does ARIN expect in terms of utilization for us to keep the ipv4s that were allotted ? If we are using all the ipv4s is that good enough a reason. Plus can they revoke an assignment for non-use ?

You don't need an ASN for IPs.
You can get a /24 easily still.
Takes 3-4 weeks.
IP space can be revoked for non usage, but this is rarely done.
Does ARIN allows Non-US to apply for IPs?
No, you need to be an American company to register. (but you can be in let's say the EU, just have an american company with an american postal address)
