So does this mean that if we have forms pending with a particular examiner (in my case Shipman and Farris), they will be reassigned on July 1 to the examiner handling our particular state (Frushour)?

ATF sez:

"Applications already pending at the time of the change will continue to be processed by the examiner to whom they were previously assigned."


Bummer.....

Well, thats OK.  I wont be home from Iraq till September...
 


I went pending April 12th, hopefully she didnt meet her quota and leave me hanging.  Called today, shes still the assigned examiner on my form 1.

Well, I had Farris this last time and I was looking forward to a new examiner. Not to happen... I'm moving to Alaska and she is assigned to them as well. Holy crap, NFA is going to be a long wait still.

well, i went from flanigan on my current to snook for my next transfer...but according to nfatracker.com, Flanigan is only three days faster than Snook.  In the grand scheme of things, whats three days?

Have your serial number handy.

I had Jason Frushour for my last Form 1 and was pretty happy with the 70 day pending to approval.

Is Jones any faster?

Awesome, my form 1 is pending as of June 22. My examiner is Farris though, FML.

All I know is that they lost my Form 1.  I called for a status update and they couldn't find the application by serial number.  Also, they said it'll take 4 months to get it approved AFTER it goes pedning.  My last Form 1 only took 4 months total.

So does anyone know how fast Ms. Snook is?   We're in Oregon and had Andrew Ashton (excellent) until he was promoted, and our last two forms were signed by Ms. Santamaria.  (also excellent)

Snook is the second slowest examiner at the ATF according to the timeline on NFA tracker I've had her for about 3 years now and each time it has taken 5+ months to get a form back.

Mr. Lamberger is the best examiner the NFA branch has. I cant count the number of times he went out of his way to help me. Very fast on approvals too.


He is good to go. I have personally talked with him on the phone a few times. He helped me with a problem I had and really got things done for me on my last form.

Snook is almost as slow as Farris. In WA we can have suppressors, DD's and AOW's we are working on getting SBR's and SBS's  back in the next session.  


Snook took me almost 10 months on my first suppressor.

Sweet, I went from Farris to Pickles. I only have one stamp, which was done by Farris, so I never knew if the timing was good or bad. Maybe my second one will be faster!

I want to know when they will actually take effect, not what the BATF's misguided "memorandum" states.

As I said, I have two Form 4s pending in July with SantaMaria and a Form 1 pending in August with Sara Jones...neither of which is the assigned examiner for Florida.

Or is it July 1, 2012?

Are they re-assigning forms that have previously went pending with other examiners or are the examiners finishing off the forms they currently have? I have seen situations where, after calling and finding out he has Examiner Snook, the forms came back signed from Lamberger (who is assigned to Florida).

I have also seen forms go pending (not mine) in September that do not follow their assignments either. So again, when will this actually take effect?

I just had Frushour assigned to my most recent form 4.  Pending on 7/15/11, approved on 12/16.....by Ted Clutter!  I guess Frushour hasn't been in the office much lately.  It appears Mr. Clutter (head of the NFA Branch?) has had to step in and get some of his paperwork moving?  Thank you Mr. Clutter  Not too impressed with Mr. Frushour so far though.  Hopefully it was something legitimate that kept him away from approving my Form 4.  Anyone else know anything?  I know these guys have recently had a surge in their work load, but really they should be hiring on more examiners, not letting them go.

I finally received the first Form 4 that got submitted after July 1st of 2011 back yesterday.  I filled out the form 5/24, it was sent in by the customer 6/20, check cashed 7/20 and it was approved 1/18/2012.  

I hope there is a flood of them starting now.  I hope.

I know nothing specific, but can tell you that:

even though Lamberger is the examiner assigned to my state, the latter two of the last three F4's I've submitted have been assigned to Dana Pickles.

The first went pending 9/29 and went to Lamberger, F4's pending 11/14 and 2/8 went to Pickles.

I just had two form 4's for the same guy that I signed 11/16/11 and sent in shortly after that and then approved 4/20/12 and received back 4/26/12.  WHat is weird is that there are forms that were sent in earlier that are not back yet.  

One guy is still waiting on his last year's Gemtax can.
