Realistic time scale to see improvement?

What is a realistic time to see any improvement in your credit files? If i have sub prime credit cards etc, how long would it take to be offered a mainstream card.
I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

    Do you know why you are currently limited to subprime cards, is it just limited history, or have there been debt problems in past ?

    I would like to know the answer to this too, I did have bad debt years ago but all defaulted and dropped off files, currently in the process of building up a new report now.
