Reply to App Review Waiting for Review
Update, in case it helps anyone here. I raised this through Developer Contact (App Review → App Review Status). It issues a Case ID and acknowledged by email the same day, and a named person from Developer Support replied the next day - which is more than the forums or Resolution Center produced for me. Worth knowing that form exists; it's a different one from the App Review contact page, which has no status option. They expedited one of my two submissions as a one-time exception. It moved to In Review and was approved shortly after - so again, the wait was queue time, not review time. The second is still queued and I'm sorting that out with them. One detail from their reply that I hadn't seen documented: if an expedited app is rejected, you don't need to request expediting again - a resubmitted binary or metadata returns to the expedite queue automatically.

Same here. Two iOS submissions have been in Waiting for Review since 3 September — seven days now — with no messages and nothing flagged. For what it's worth, there are threads from February with the same pattern: waits of 8 to 20 days, all stuck in Waiting for Review rather than In Review. One developer there reported a submission from 9 February moving to In Review after 15 calendar days, then getting feedback 6 minutes later — so the delay seems to be entirely queue time, and the review itself is quick once it starts.
