USPTO Trademark processing time

I’m a new Canadian seller and I finally registered my brand in the US after 10 sellers hijacked my top of the keyword listing but I still can’t kick them out because my Trademark is still pending and I can’t enroll in the Transparency program. I have new products in production which I ordered when things were going well (there were no hijackers) but now everything is upside down and there’s no point in sending those units into the AMZ warehouse because I practically can’t sell anything (the price is down to $5). How long do I have to wait for the trademark approval, does anybody have experience with that? My Trademark application was filed in March, is there any way to speed up the processing time?

Bonus question: What would you do if you were in my shoes with the new inventory? Should I ship them to my home in Canada and distribute when all problems are solved couple of months later? I considered keeping them in 3PL warehouses but I’m afraid that it could be costly as I’m trying to lose as less money as possible in a difficult situation.

All opinions are appreciated.
