Welcome to Connect, @Sheik_Afsar , and thank you for asking.
This is a recent upgrade in Google Maps: the review will be pending till the photos and videos are checked.
While the check for the photos is quite fast, checking the videos may require a long time (depending on length and number of the videos).
I suggest you to wait for a bit more time. If they aren’t uploaded in a couple of days, please let us know

A couple days ago, I noticed the photos in a review that I had posted “a year ago” were “pending”. They appeared fine when first posted and at some points since (I would have noticed them missing), but at some point within the past few months, switched to pending. So far, this is the only review where I have seen this.

Yeah, the same old reviews were pending, so I edited the text and uploaded them; then it worked fine. Now, the new reviews, which only contain images, are all pending. I waited more than a week, but they weren’t uploaded, so I deleted the reviews. Now I’ve visited many places, but I can’t make reviews due to this; I’ve lost interest.

It sounds like there’s a new feature that intentionally puts photos & videos into a temporary “pending” state, but we’ve found examples where they’re getting stuck much longer than intended (maybe forever unless someone intervenes).
I used the Send Feedback feature to report my one review where I’m seeing this. Reporting your multiple examples might help the team figure out what’s going on.
I have submitted many reviews with photos since then and all (knock on wood) seem fine. Also, when I edited this one last week, it seemed fine at first. The photos were there… but the next day, I noticed them pending again. And they’re still pending now.
