what should I do in this situation?

Hi, I recently went through three rounds of interviews w/ 10+ ppl in the team for an off-cycle junior level position. However, I haven't heard back for a week. What's worse, when asked about the timeline, the HR said she didn't know either. How would you guys interpret this, and what should I do at this point? I am not sure whether waiting will be the best thing to do, as I actually may have other opps overseas and if things are not working out at this firm, I would like to leave the country asap. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

reach out with an e-mail again mid next week. hr is really on top of their game (hah, not really) during regular recruiting season. offcycle is usually a shit show

Thanks Whiskey5. Just a follow-up, do you think I should approach the HR or the interviewer directly? I am concerned that given what she said, the decision may be out of the HR's hand, so she won't be able to answer my question and my frequent email to her might be read as annoying. thanks.
