I am/have yet to receive a reply
I goggled the following two sentences, and it seems like many forums, including this one, have debated about the usage of "am/have yet to", but none has given a conclusive answer as to which of the two is correct:
1. I am yet to receive to a reply from you.
2. I have yet to receive a reply from you.
Someone has even proffered an opinion that actually both structures, i.e., "am yet to receive" and "have yet to receive", are, actually, grammatically fine, but just that the first (="am yet to receive") is British English and the second is American English. Is this true?
Could someone help me?

I am from England and I would accept both as correct. (2) seems more common to me. (2) is definitely not exclusive to American English.
