Processing from Cameroon is around 150 days so you are within processing times. No way to expedite so all you can do is wait.

Your application will likely be flagged out of concern that you are planning to claim asylum. Claiming that you are attending a conference is a common way people tempt to claim asylum but it je a well know technique so most applications are denied unless you can show that you are not just attending the conference but have more involvement. Is you employer paying for all the costs associated with this conference? Are you presenting at this conference? Have you traveled internationally before and to where? Is this conference available elsewhere in the world and is there a specific reason you have to attend this specific conference?
