Only thing that makes sense to me is they all get a pile of submits...and some work fast and efficient while others milk their work hours... There isn't a logical explanation for this anymore ... I do see more eastern and southern states getting approved vs central US ... |

I think it would be interesting to compare some other possible contributing factors. SSN provided? Any other FBI/TSA previous background checks that require fingerprints? (CDL with HazMat, TWIC cards etc) |

All my lower’s info was available and correct in the drop down boxes. I also provided photos of markings just in case (you know, me thinking I’d do absolutely everything I could to AVOID any delays). I sent prints UPS 2 day with signature required and they were received and signed for 2 days after my submission. There’s absolutely nothing I can think of that would cause such an extreme delay. I guess I’ll just call tomorrow…so I too can be told something absolutely useless. |

(CDL with HazMat, TWIC cards etc) The woman I spoke with at the NFA office today told me that my form was waiting to be processed and that there was absolutely nothing they could do. I sent my Senator's office an inquiry earlier, and one of their staffers called me, and I have now submitted the official inquiry and release of information to them so we shall see what happens. Tired of putting up with .gov games. |

There’s zero reason why e forms don’t get processed in the order they’re received aside from order finger prints for said applications arrive. |

Even the prints get scanned in with the barcode on the cover sheet ... soooo |

Nothing before or after this period in January has taken more than the usual 30-45 days that I've seen. |

I did call ATF a few weeks ago, I was told "pending"... in other words shut up and wait, we'll get to yours when we get to it |

I'll be the first test subject by withdrawing my original eform app with paper prints from January 17th with paper prints and going with EFTs via SilencerShop eform service ... Been waiting for 68 days and tired of seeing people with EFT prints getting approved much faster ... o well ... |

I've held some very high level security clearances with poly from when I was an Agency operator (OO) and I worked with federal LE and had my clearances passed. So I often wonder if all that comes up when they do background as I should be in Scattered Castles. Again, it's all speculation though. It's just as likely to be random luck. |
