I applied for a credit card at Citibank a month ago. I applied it by sending the bank a application letter.Since that, I have no idea if my letter has been received and my application has been approved. Is there anyway that can help me out? What generally is the period of time that is needed for me to be informed? By how? If there is a way to check the status of my application?

Call Citicards directly for 24 hr service in the U.S and Canada:
1-800-633-7367
Ask to speak to a customer service representative and explain you are inquiring about a new application.
...And if you're in a rush to get a new card, it may not be the worst thing in the world to make you wait a little. Good luck with your new card, I am sure you will get it soon.

You will either get a letter telling you they did not accept your application or you'll get a credit card. If you're in a habit of not opening mail, then you may have already gotten the letter turning you down and just don't know it.
I would think if you haven't heard anything in the next two weeks, you can safely assume they didn't give you a credit card. But they always send out a letter telling you you were denied credit and letting you know that you can check with the credit bureau for the reason.

Poor soul...Don't know about where you are, but here in Canada, they are known to be ... shall we say ... less than honest.
In all honesty, destroy any credit application you receive via mail or e-mail that you did not specifically solicit. If you want a card, GO TO THE BANK (in person)!
Check your credit rating for the next couple of months, there is a (very small) possibility that you may have been scammed.
Call the number listed in the package, or drop-in on a Citybank branch and ask to have them check.
In any case, given the US Postal Service's typical lacadasial service, expect 2-4 weeks to reach the Processing Centre, 4-6 weeks for them to decide, and another 2-4 weeks for the return mail.
