Then Send your form in quick cause right now the F4 trust timeframe is right at 137 days, door to door.
Form 4 individuals are currently faster than that though.. |

I'm a tad worried about 41p.
If requirements change, do they put all NEWLY received applications in new stacks with new requirements? Or does everyone who applied in Aug/Sept/Oct/Nov simply not meet the new expectations? |

The assumption is anything already in process is fine, as the applications should meet the current requirements at the time they're submitted. |

I called again today and they confirmed it was a Sept 6th Approved date...as of right now it's been a longer wait to actually receive the stamp than it took to approve the stamp! 2 weeks to approve it, and almost 4 weeks now and counting to receive it!!! I had an SBR transfer about a year ago as an individual, otherwise I can think of no other reason why it would have been so quick...but like I said, no stamp yet!

|
you have to call the NFA branch. I would keep checking to make sure your CC has been charged or the check cashed. That means they got it. Call again about 5 months later to check on it, or once people who mailed around the same time start getting theirs approved. You can apply for certified copy 30 days after approval.
|
|
OK, got it. I thought there was a site you could check on your status, but that must have been in the old days of efile!
It was just sent this week, so I have a bit 'o time before I start bothering the officials |

Yep, I got a June approval on a trust back in September. I see those are still being worked on
|
|
Nothing from August so far? Seems like they just stopped approving anything.
|
|
The trend graph on NFAtracker.com has been starting to shift back up to the ~120-130 day mark.
Sucks. For some reason I was hoping to have my M11/9 before Christmas. It went pending 9/2. Wishful thinking I know, but some were getting approved around the 90 day mark at some point. Oh well. I haven't seen very many August approvals. I blame them for taking 3 weeks to cash my check. All my others were within a week. |
|
Seriously.
I've got 2 E-Files submitted Aug 07, and I'm just wondering WTF they're doing. It literally has to be any day now, according to NFA Tracker. I'm seeing Aug 06 and Aug 08, but no Aug 07. |

We're receiving late July submissions for trusts. Approval dates are almost 4 months to the day and about 1-2 weeks for mailing time.
|

I have two Form 4's that were mailed on November 7th and approved on November 23 and December 1. Rec'd in the mail today on Dec. 9. These transferred from an out of state individual to my dealer.
