What’s the longest you’ve waited on an individual form 4 transfer? My longest this year is 16 days. I’m at 15 right now on another one so I may break that record this week. My shortest was 4 days. I’ve got a upin but it doesn’t seem to help that much. It just kills me when I see 24 hr approvals. Edit to add: I was finally was able to pick everything up. One nos phantom 5.56, one Yhm t3 and a Sandman x. It took over 30 days for everything to finally get straight. 2 of them were submitted 3 times. What a giant pain in the ass. But its over. |

My dealer removed them and refilled. One was approved this morning the other I’ve yet to receive. They were submitted a few hours apart. As it turns out the 2 submissions were done with an improper upin. It had too many 1’s and not enough 0’s. Kinda strange that they just floated around in the either until he cancelled them and refilled. They were turned down within 2 days the second time they were submitted. The third time it took 6 days for the first approval to come back. |

My transfer from IND to Trust took 29 days, got my approval the other day. Yeah I do individual and I have a upin. I’m still waiting. I’m at 10 days now since everything was refilled. I’ve gotten 2 out of 3 back. The one that’s pending was filled before the other two that have already been approved. |

So the one I submitted on 5/09 was approved on 5/12. Neither myself or my dealer received notification. I had him check yesterday to see WTF was up. He found it was approved. He had to email the FATF to get the approval emailed to him and I picked it up today. I still have not received notification via email. He said the 5/06 one was still pending.  He's checking again tomorrow. |

If you see the item listed as available to add to the form 20 it means it has been approved. |
