Answer 1

Facebook and Instagram made major changes to their APIs in an effort to protect your data and privacy.

As per Instagram Help Center :-

Starting October 1st, only submissions for basic permissions on the existing Instagram API will be reviewed. We will not be accepting submissions for public_content, follower_list, comments, relationship, or likes permission scopes. Developers are encouraged to build on the new Instagram Graph API.

So if you are using any of the above mentioned permissions, your app will keep showing REVIEW STATUS :Pending Review forever.

The new Instagram Graph API
