Waiting For Review - Longer than usual?

I submitted my first public build (iOS 1.0) on July 30th for my game, Golfer's Pair-A-Dice (Apple ID: 6789222313) and it has been in "Waiting for Review" with no movement since then. I read that 24-48 hours is typical, but could take longer for first builds, but it seems like it hasn't even begun to be reviewed which is frustrating.

Has anyone experienced similar wait times in the queue and had any success getting their app reviewed? I was hoping to launch on App Store and Google Play Store at same time and Google approved the app in 2 days so it has just been waiting for me to push, which I am waiting on Apple to approve so I can push both simultaneously.

Spent nearly 4 hours today on hold across two calls trying to connect (after first was disconnected for some reason). I saw someone suggest booking a 1-on-1 session on the weekly reviews, but earliest available timeslot was Thursday August 20th, that will be 3 weeks after submission. I just want to know that I am at least in the queue to be reviewed so I can set a release date.

Any update? I also submitted on July 30th so just so you know, you're not alone!
