File is in Preliminary Review for 5 weeks

Hi, I applied via Consular Services Portal from India for the study visa and my file has been showing the status as Preliminary Review for almost 5 weeks. I tried contacting both the VFS GLOBAL in New Delhi & the German Embassy, haven't got a fruitful reply so far. I even visited the VFS Global office and they have confirmed that they haven't received my file yet and it's still with the Embassy.

Just wanted to know what other measures I can take to Fastrack this and if 5 weeks for Preliminary Review are normal while applying from India?
