So, last year I sent two sets of Forms together in the same envelope.
One set from Florida to Ohio and one set from Florida to Kentucky. I got one set back right away (I don't remember which) and never got the other set back until I contacted Martinsburg and asked about them. So, this year I sent them in two separate envelopes two days apart. Snail mailed 5/7 and 5/9 respectively. So, both sets were "stamped as approved" (by two different examiners) on 5/18. So far so good. The set to KY are postmarked 5/23 (5 days from approval to return mailing), I received them last week. The set to OH are postmarked 5/30 (12 days from approval to return mailing), I received the second set today, 6/4. I find it strange that two sets of Forms approved on the same day were "mailed" back 7 days apart. Summary: two sets of Forms approved 5/18. One mailed 5 days after approval, the other mailed 12 days after approval. I leave on my trip 6/17. I allowed about 6 weeks and it took just under 30 days but I was starting to get nervous. So, the take away... in the future I will be sending forms 60 days in advance. |

Approved: 8/8 Received: 8/17 I filed my 2019 forms. 10 states. 11 firearms per form. One email...but I got 10 envelopes in the mailbox today. They only printed the front page of each form (no biggie) and there's a cover sheet stapled to each one. I've actually only opened one, but I'm assuming all were approved since it's the same firearms and addresses as my 2018 forms.

Emailed 8/1/19
Approved 8/9/19 Received 8/16/19 (9/10 showed up) ETA: 10th one showed up on 8/19 Emailed a single PDF with 10 pages. Each one was a different state for 11 firearms. What makes it semi-interesting is I changed OALs on a half-dozen or so and also barrel length on one. So not many of them match their Form 1 specs anymore...and all approved with no notification given. I’ve changed lengths and calibers before, without notification, and never had an issue. I know I’ve seen reports of others being questioned and even having the examiners say they’d update the registry, but I’ve yet to run into that. But, as usual...the ATF never disappoints. Send 10 in on a single file. Get 9 back, all in their own envelope with a pink cover sheet. Hopefully the 10th one arrives tomorrow so I don't have to call/email to ask what happened.

"Luckily" the training class I needed it for was cancelled/postponed due to the 'rona, but more than a month to mail the damn form back  If anyone cares, the originating address is not the same as my form 4 was filed under. I moved a couple miles away and never told them about the change of address (honestly never occurred to me for an in-state move until I needed to send this in). |

I the class hadn’t been postponed, and it was me...I would’ve called to check status, and if I was told they were approved, I’d have gone without hesitation and without paper copies. Sometimes they’ll email you a copy of the approved form if you ask. |

I submitted four in mid-April via email. Nothing yet.
BigWaylon, does the BATFE tell you if your 5320.20 is approved or not? How do you call and check - the same way as you would for your Form 4 status? |

Now you have to listen to the rest of the recording.  I think they’ll even tell you it’s Pending, which confirms they received it and just haven’t gotten to it, yet. Pretty sure I was told that once. |
