According to a recent post on the Italian Citizenship Message Board, this is the process for checking the status of a jure matrimoni application:

First you register here: https://cittadinanza.interno.it/sicitt/registrazione_user

After registering, login again (https://cittadinanza.interno.it/sicitt/index2.jsp) and add your husband file with the K number and the date you have submitted in consulate.

Now I just need to figure out what the "K number" is.

After nearly 18 months of work, we stopped at the Italian consulate in Detroit to get our passports. In addition to some paperwork and a few hundred dollars in fees, plus a signature and finger prints for my older son and I, we left with our passports in hand.
