Seems like everyone is getting their forms approved far faster than mine are.  I have two in since 1/18/23.  As of today, that's 136 days.

Who's waited longer and how long was the wait?

I think I've seen some forms turned around in less than 30 days.

Who's waited less, and how long was it?

All but one of mine are done.  I received two back a day apart from different examiners.

The one I submitted Feb 7 is still outstanding and the only one I did not submit pics with.

13 Jan for the win?

I submitted 5, got 4.

Maybe Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Tanner could help me out.

I know I'm not gonna win, but I'm at 104 days and counting.

Efile form 1, paid, eft prints. Filed 2/19/23. Guess it's in purgatory, idk.

Have a final decision form 1, filed 2/23/23. Purgatory for that one as well.

A friend filed a final decision form 1, efile, eft prints, and got it back in 29 days



ETA I filed 2 more form1's, both efile, paid, eft prints, on 6/2/23. Bet they come back before the other ones in purgatory.

Ones a suppressor, ones a SBR

Jan 19 for 2 for me.  eForm, free, individual, EFT files
Others are reporting less than a month.  One guy claimed about a week.
Typical screwed up ATF mess.
I wrote them about it - they did reply, but just said they are too busy to look anything up.

I had a couple 6 month eform1s.  Here's one that took 7+ months, while everybody else was getting 2-4 weeks.
Fastest eform I've seen was about 12 hours.  Dude had a few already submitted.  Then one day he submitted a new one.  12 hours later, his first batch of them got approved, and the examiner included the most recent one with them.

I dropped a Form 1 the day the rule came out to test if they were prioritizing the brace rule over Form 1s. I received approval on 19 May.

Nothing at all.  Not even a change in status.  Starting to get worried, but glad I'm not completely alone here.  I waited 13 mos. on a Suppressor Form 4 last year.  The whole situation is ridiculous.

Back before Eforms I waited over a year but since Eforms the wait hasn't been to bad.

I believe the deludge of free brace Eforms has screwed everything up.

Hi Time frame Neighbor!

Only difference is not under a trust but, live in a NFA friendly area and no issue with CLEO.

Even called to verify that Prints were received (they were).

Kind of comical, didn't even take this long to get my C&R from them (and that was years ago)

Paid E-Form 1 SBR, individual, paper prints.  Submitted 1/28, still waiting.  I'll be submitting another one in the near future.  I guess we'll see which one gets approved first.

I'm not far behind you. Efile with paper prints, paid and submitted 1/25/23. Not a brace amnesty. Had another Form 1 approved just prior too.

It seems they just dropped those in our date range.

I submitted five on 1/24. By now I'd have thought they all just went straight to dev/null. But I got one of them approved in 41 days. They rest are still pending, 139 days now.

It's not an amnesty, it's a regular, paid eform 1.

I'm in the same boat.  I don't want to go to back of line unnecessarily.  But I read some people have just double submitted, while one is still pending.  Does anyone have experience with this? Does it work? Can it get you in trouble?  Is it faster/slower/same/luck-of-draw?

I have since applied for and received my 07 FFL, I have bought and sold guns as an FFL.
In two weeks, I'll have my SOT which will make this whole situation even more ridiculous.

Not sure if this is helpful, and I don't know exactly when website changed, but the RP Questionaire form changed slightly in Jan. 2023.  I realized my application used the older form, which I'm 99% sure I downloaded from ATF in early February.  But if this is helpful to anyone, note the new form at link below.

These two are different, but nothing pertinent. And are both older than the ones that I sent in.
