First iOS App Waiting for Review - Expedite Request Not Confirmed

I’m looking for some guidance on my first public iOS submission, which is currently in Waiting for Review.

I submitted the app two weeks ago, and this is now my fifth round of back and forth with the App Review team solving one concern at a time. The previous reviews were responded to in a couple days, but this one has already taken about twice as long.

What’s confusing is that I expected this review to be fairly straightforward. The previous issue was a 5.6 guideline related to a feature of the paywall, and rather than modify it and potentially going through another round of review, I decided to remove that paywall feature entirely. I also included a video with the submission showing that the feature is removed.

Submission ID: 20261ce3-65a0-41c8-8e2f-db622795a475 Apple ID: 6762278821

I also submitted an expedited review request about two days ago using Apple’s official form. The timing is important because I planned the app’s launch with the start of the school year, and each additional day in review pushes it further past that window.

Is there a way to confirm whether the expedited review request is actually on file? I was under the impression that expedited reviews normally required some kind of justification, so I’m not sure if my request went through correctly.

I’ve also tried reaching out to Apple by both phone and email regarding the submission, but so far I haven’t been able to get any assistance.

If someone from the App Review team is able to take a look at the submission, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you.
