The last update on the IRS website was in January. At the time of the update they were assigning applications filed by June 2008. We sent in our paperwork in October. Pending the next update, whenever that may be, I fear we are in for a long year. I actually called them last week and the representative that answered the phone told me they are told to check the website. I found that humorous. So, I will continue checking and will let you all know something as soon as I know it!
