Form 8288-AFIRPTAwithholding statementIRS delayrefund

I sold a property back in November through my foreign-owned LLC. The title company told me the FIRPTA withholding was submitted to the IRS, but I still haven't received Form 8288-A. My tax preparer says I need it before I can file my 1040-NR and get my refund.

How long does it usually take? Can I file without it? I'm worried the IRS lost it or the buyer didn't actually file the withholding.
