App Still “Waiting for Review” After 60+ Hours Despite Expedited Review Request

Our app has been in “Waiting for Review” for more than 60 hours, and the review has not started yet.

We are working against a critical delivery deadline, as the app is required for committed customer deployment. We have already submitted an expedited review request, but the status has not changed.

Normally, our previous submissions have moved to review much faster, so we are concerned about the extended waiting time.

Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently, particularly after submitting an expedited review request? If so, how long did it take before the status changed to “In Review”?

We would appreciate any guidance from the App Review team, as the delay is now putting our scheduled delivery at risk.

Thank you.

particularly after submitting an expedited review request?
