Has been or was?

Could you please show me which of the two questions is correct? or perhaps is there another option?

1. I am writing to you to enquire whether my application has been processed
2. I am writing to you to enquire whether my application was processed

Thanks for your help

As Clive said, you want to know how that application stands now. It's less important what happened to it in the past.
