For you FL folks that have recently submitted your C3 forms (1 or 4), what is your average wait time due to this recent change (Examiners assigned by State)

My F4 for my can was approved within a month but that was before the restructuring.



Thanks

I don't think the change has been in effect long enough to get a descent analysis.

Not bad...  I am expecting mine to be 3-6 months.  Worst case early next year, best case would be during the XMAS holidays.

It was Pickles, but I'll call again this week and see if it has changed.

I wouldn't imagine it would change.  I thought Pickles had a quick reputation too.

With the reassignment of examiners by state here recently, I think we got Lamberger, I didn't know if they would throw the paperwork to whoever was taking over that state or if the forms in process with an examiner stayed with that examiner until they were finished.

Just called on my Form 4. The examiner is still Pickles and I'm still pending as of May 20th. The lady on the phone said 4 to 5 months from pending.

I'll give it another month, then call and speak to Pickles and see WTF is taking so long.

I have a form 4 pending since May 19th and I called last week at the 90 day mark.

My 2 form 1's this year mailed 30 days apart.
9mm SBR pending 4-4-11 approved 5-27-11
5.56 SBR pending 5-3-11 approved 7-28-11

I would guess the increasing delays in Florida government everything are due to the massive state worker layoffs that are happening under the new management. (Mods-not being political at all-just stating a fact )

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the NFA process has absolutely nothing to do with the Florida government and is strictly a federal process.

You're right. States have nothing to do with the NFA process.

I sent in my first form 4 this week.  How do you go about finding out when it goes pending?  Obviously i know how to find out if they cashed my check.  Do you simply call them?

I mailed my form (trust) and check for a suppressor  on 7-20-11.
They cashed the check on 7-26-11.

Will post an update when It goes thru. I'm hoping and wishing for a 4 month turnaround.

Fingers crossed.

I find calling never really helps.  As long as the check is cashed, you (usually) are in the pipe and it's just a waiting game.  Calling doesn't speed up the process or slow it down.  If the examiner needs anything he or she will call you.  YMMV as TonyK always says.

Almost 4 months to get mine, but I didn't get an examiner under the new assignment practices.  Thank God Sara Jones didn't get assigned to Florida, she's slow as hell, consistently!

You clearly do not know the process at all. The State govt has NOTHING to do with wait times.... Not being evil, just stating a fact.
