Is waiting for an interview invite for so long, normal?

I applied for an office-based role with a well known bank which had a deadline of towards the end of August. The careers section of this bank's website allows candidates to view their application status.

About three days after the deadline, the application status changed from being "In progress" to "Invite to interview", with an accompanying message stating that I was due to be invited for interview. I emailed the recruitment team a couple of weeks ago to chase this up, and was told that they would pass my email on to the HR manager.

It's been nearly a month since the online status of my application changed - no emails, no phone calls, nothing.

Is this normal?

Should I chase this a second time or will that leave a poor impression?

It could be normal: you don't know how many people are to be interviewed; the work-loads of the people who will be doing the interviews; and the urgency to recruit some candidates with particular skills needed in the short term.
