You may have to call the IRS for a progress report if it has not made its way into the system. Innocent spouse claims take a long time to be processed. From the IRS' FAQ on Innocent Spouse Relief (I have included a link to the FAQ below),
IRS Innocent Spouse FAQ"When a Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, is filed with the IRS, it may take up to 6 months before a determination is made. During the processing time, the Service is requesting your tax information and contacting the non-requesting spouse. By law, the IRS must contact your spouse or former spouse. There are no exceptions, even for victims of spousal abuse or domestic violence." (emphasis added)
