If I have 2 Form 4 in and one is about 4 weeks ahead of the other (I am thinking one is going to be approved in the next week or so) is it worth it to call the ATF and let them know about my other Form 4? Do you they would both be approved on the timeline of the first or is it individually and in the order received? TIA |

If the transfers are from the same dealer, I would say yes. I had three transfers for MG's in at one time and called and they said the one was approved and when I asked about the others, they did some looking and apprioved the other two. Of course, all three were sent in at the same time. |

When NFA Branch was still in D.C., I tried to always have a few transfers pending. When one got approved, I would politely tell the examiner about the others, which usually were on other examiners' desks. Nine times out of ten, she would walk around, collect them all and approve them, too. It wasn't really any more work for her, it saved on duplication of effort, and it earned her brownie points with the other examiners for reducing their workload. I suspect the same holds true today. |
Nice, I assume this was back when transfers took a while? Pretty damn smart

Yup. They were averaging six to nine months (!) from pending to approval back then. So I would try to time submissions to get a bunch cleared at a time. Dealing with the D.C. crew took some inventiveness.
