AZ still in the works?

I wrote the Atlanta consulate where we submitted our Stag 5 applications in November of 2025. Had not received the AZ file# yet. Asked for a status update and got this response:

Dear Sir,

your declarations were sent to the Bundesverwaltungsamt in December 2025.

Unfortunately we are not receiving any specific information regarding the status and duration of the application procedure from the Bundesverwaltungsamt.

We will be informed of the outcome/decision proactively and have been kindly asked to refrain from making status inquiries.

We will forward any communication we receive from the Bundesverwaltungsamt to you as soon as it becomes available.

Does that mean I still have no AZ assigned?
