Is cortana appearing in your app list?
Change your phone region to US. Reboot.
Change your language to English. Reboot.
Go to settings>Cortana>Turn on cortana.

That should help.
Remember to reboot after both the steps.


My phone region is always US , but I don't find Cortana on my app list or in settings!

In order for Cortana to work, LOCATION services must be turned on :amaze:

I just updated 1520 ( Nokia unlocked, not carrier branded) to 8.1 and I have no Cortana.
All locations were English USA except for two items. Even though Time Zone was set to automatic it had me in Mexico not Colorado and the Voice was set to English UK. After the update and noticing I had no Cortana I noticed the above two settings, after switching them to USA and rebooting I still have no Cortana. Also my Location Service is on.

Change voice to US. Reboot. Region and regional format to USA. language to USA. Reboot. Hope that helps.

The official 8.1 update is only available in some countries now. It doesn't even available in the US yet. So just wait until it get released. OR you can install the developer preview version of the 8.1.

You have to wait for lumia cyan official release. You can't access it early.

Windows 8.1 preview for developers has the word flow, which mean even the official windows phone 8.1 will have it, and it will still be available when the GDR 1 aka Cyan will come out
