Sometimes they just wait until the very last days prior to flight date stated in the application. They approved mine the day before my travel date after more than 1 month of keeping it ''under review''
You could try messaging the consulate through their Facebook page. They tend to respond fairly well on Facebook. Just make sure you only send a single message, short and concise, with all the necessary information.
