Cortana Missing in my Nokia Lumia 1520. Settings checked, still nothing! Help?

[Eduardo Pimentel]

I've had my Nokia Lumia 1520 since November/December of 2013 when they were released locally here in the U.S. I've recently started looking for Cortana which I have read should be available here but haven't had any luck finding it.

Current settings on my Nokia Lumia 1520:

Software: Windows 8.1
OS Version: 8.10.12397.895
Language: English (United States)
Region: United States
Speech Lang.: English (United States)

Any help getting Cortana activated would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm guessing you looked Setting > system > applications - Cortana
I'm curious, why did it take you over a year to look for Cortana?
