Why does it take so long to review my documents

I wanted to enroll in the Apple Developer program, so I can post my app. I incorporated a company, and I wanted to publish my app via a corporate account. I submitted my documents (corporate certificate and a passport photo) so your team can see that I am associated with that company. Also, the company is incorporated in the UK, and you can check it on the official government site, that it is listed and my name is listed there as a director. I keep sending emails asking if you have reviewed my documents, or if you can give me some timeline, so I can make my arrangements, but the only response which I get is "Keep checking your account".

I am really under pressure to join the program because I need to think of other logistical things as well (like trademarks, timelines, etc). Can someone please give me a reasonable timeline or advice on why is it taking so long, and if I can do something to speed up the process so I can publish my app? If I knew it would take that long, I would have opened just a personal account and published the app via a personal account.

Can you please advice on how much time will it take for me to join the program and publish an app?
