I submitted my first paper to HAL over eight days ago. It is still on awaiting moderation status. Should I contact HAL, especially since I know that some of my colleagues submitted their article after me, and they have already been accepted?
And for the second question, when I submitted my paper to Hal, I checked the box indicating that I wanted it transferred to arXiv. But since my paper is pending on Hal, can I submit it to arXiv myself? Or will there be, at the end of the day, two versions of the same paper on arXiv, the one I submit and the one transferred by HAL?

P.S. I am a mathematics Ph.D. student, and this is my first paper.
