Apple taking too long to review my brand new app

Hello Developer Community,

We have submitted our brand new app to the app store that many people worked really hard on. We have been waiting anxiously to see what apple says. However, the app never leaves the "waiting to be reviewed" state, and it has been more than a week since we have uploaded it.

We know Apple put back to the queue if we update build and we haven't made any update.

Why its taking too long. We have committed a date our clients it will on App Store by 5th Aug (submitted on 30th July) but no work from Apple yet. Now its creating question on crediblity us from our clients.

I'm in the same situation, it has been extremely frustrating. I have sent an email via the developer page and have been on hold with the support number for an extended period of time with no movement either.
