What should I do if my visa status is pending approval before my flight to Thailand?

My flight is next Thursday and my status has not changed from pending approval since December 16th at ny consulate. Not an ask for documents or anything. I did email them the week prior but still nothing. Do I actually need to cancel my flight or try to get it moved? I’ve already booked stays and appointments for dental. I’m learning now that NY takes a while, it’s been almost 6 weeks. Anyone else waiting for approval through nyc?

Update: received my approval today Monday 01/19 two days prior to flight lol

Edit: since I was approved I thought I share what I submitted.

•American citizen applied in New York

•I provided 3 months of bank statements which they did say I could use my investment account as proof as well and this is only accepted at certain embassies.

•I went the medical soft power route since I have a Invisalign work and a few implants that have to be done which is over a year and a half of work.

•I provided my emails showing I have an appointment for Invisalign consultation. And the invitation letter from the clinic

I made a small cover letter for the finance proof section, proof of location, and soft power proof. Each cover letter i wrote using notes on my iphone and screenshot it. No need to go crazy on ising programs. I put my name date and what cover letter it was. With finance proof i explained this was three months from x to y month, showing x amount of money in USD and in baht. Then for soft power proof i pit name date and explained the work im planning with the clinic as well as provided the address on the cover letter and a page with the picture picture of the dentist that i got my the offices website. And explained that the emails provided are proof of appointment. For the location cover letter i just stated what each document was. I showed my phone bill with address, bank statement with address and my flight email from new york.

I have a MacBook and just converted my different files into one jpeg.
