Abnormally Long “Waiting for Review” (22+ Days) and No Response from App Review

Hello everyone,

I am currently experiencing an unusually long review delay along with no response to multiple inquiries, which is very different from my past experience.

Current Situation

•	22 days have passed since the initial submission.
•	After more than 10 days with no progress, I canceled and resubmitted the version twice. It is still stuck in “Waiting for Review.”
•	I have sent 3 inquiry emails.
•	I also had phone support through another team, and they relayed messages to the App Review team twice. There has still been no response.

At this point, I cannot determine whether this is a simple review delay or some kind of account-level hold. From the Developer site, my account appears to be in good standing with no visible warnings or issues.

When I asked in other communities about recent review times, most developers reported approvals within 2–3 days, so this does not appear to be a general system-wide delay.

Has anyone experienced something similar recently? Is there any more direct or reliable way to receive a response from the App Review team beyond email inquiries?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Update: My first app finally moved to 'In Review' after 15 calendar days (11 business days). I received feedback just six minutes later. It seems a current backlog is causing longer, more typical wait times depending on how the app is routed.

Same problem with my apps, some of the in a status 'Waiting for review' since 2 February
