Apple Developer account application remains pending after document upload

Unable to start developer account.

I made the payment
Was asked to upload a secondary id via email
That didn't work and I called apple developer. They unblocked the upload page and I was able to upload the document.
After a week+ of no response, sent an email and now a week+ of no response - account still "pending"

I have no insight into why my application is stalling. What can I do?
