App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over a month (first submission) – no progress after resubmission

Hello,

I’m currently facing an issue with my app being stuck in “Waiting for Review” for an unusually long time, and I would really appreciate any advice or insight.

App details:

  • Apple ID: 6758322495
  • This is our first app and first version submission

Timeline:

  • First submission: February 6 → stuck in “Waiting for Review”
  • Contacted support via email → no substantial progress
  • Removed from review: February 21
  • Resubmitted (with some updates): February 24
  • Current status: still “Waiting for Review” until now

Impact:

  • The delay has been over a month in total
  • It is blocking our ability to release updates and continue development

Questions:

  • Is it possible that the app is not properly queued for review?
  • Has anyone experienced a similar situation recently?
  • Is there any effective way to escalate this or trigger the review process?
  • Even an approximate waiting time would be very helpful

We fully understand that review times may vary, but this duration seems far beyond normal expectations, especially for a first submission.

As a small team, this situation is quite challenging for us, and we sincerely hope to get some guidance or support.

Any help or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
