How long does "Proccesing" usually take?

[DaBozz88]

I've passed my exam and applied for an endorsement. I do not know any ISC2 crdential holders so I have requested that ISC2 endorse my application. 

But It's been a month and there hasn't been any movement. The Endorsement Home Page shows:

>Endorsement Applications Being Processed

>>Your application has been received but processing by ISC2 has not yet started.

Is anyone aware of a timeline for this process? I don't want to hit the application time limit of 9 months. 

On the off chance that ISC2 doesn't endorse my application I should still be able to apply as an Associate correct?

Thank you.
