I'm really sorry to hear about this. This must be frustrating. 

Yes, practically speaking, there's nothing that you can do about this but wait. 

I would recommend you now start focusing on other applications, both to take your mind off this one and also to make some constructive progress.

And don't feel disappointed. It doesn't mean it's a no. Sometimes they just take a long time until they answer.

All the best!

Most likely if they are not replying it's because a decision has still not been made. If it was a no they would have sent a rejection mail and if it was a yes they would have made an offer. They may be still waiting to hear from your interviewers or interviewing other candidates before making a call. 

There's not much you can do at this point besides checking in again later and continuing to apply to other jobs.

You sent a message to HR… at this point it's really all you can do.

Hi there,

Q: What should I do now should I wait more?

In this case, I would wait one week from the last email and then call the office to ask for an update.

Good luck!

Francesco
