Identity Verification for Code Signing stuck with "In Progress" state for 8 days so far

I signed up for a Microsoft Trusted Signing Certificate on December 2 and began the identity verification process, providing documents to prove domain ownership. On December 3, I received an email asking me to verify my email account with Microsoft. Since verifying my email on December 3, the status of the identity verification process has remained "In Progress" for eight days. Does anyone know how long the verification process typically takes? I would assume that if there were any issues, they would request additional documents, but until the status changes, the process seems to be at a standstill.
