You will get a decision on your application even though the February conference has passed. Whether or not you will be approved to attend a conference would depend on several factors.
Which visa office have you applied to?
What is the status for background checks?
Thank you Bryanna for your response. I applied in Lagos Nigeria. Also, when I log on, my profile only shows me "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you".
I also mentioned that I saw "application profile updated" but it changed back to submitted almost immediately. Till date, no email or update received.
Current Status on my profile shows submitted.
