Why Hasn't Apple Accepted My Developer Application???

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or share insight. I submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program a little over a week ago. After submitting my documents, I was told by Apple that I should receive a response within two business days, but I haven’t received any update, approval, or follow-up yet. I’ve double-checked that all required documents were successfully submitted Everything appears to be in order, but the status hasn’t changed and I haven’t been contacted. This is becoming urgent, as my app is ready for submission and I’m blocked from moving forward until the developer account is approved. I want to make sure I didn’t miss a step or that there isn’t something additional Apple needs from me. Is there a recommended way to escalate or follow up? Should I expect additional verification beyond the initial submission? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is happening a lot these days. Apple is taking longer than usual to approve Developer accounts, even when everything is submitted correctly.

I recommend sending a short follow-up email to (itunesconnect @ apple.com) with your Apple ID and mention that your enrolment has been pending for over a week. There’s usually no missing step—Apple is just doing extra verification.
