Does the ATF cash the check before they begin processing an application?

I sent all the proper documents along with two copies of my trust.  I guess I shouldn't get too excited huh.

Your check being cashed means just that....nothing else has happened yet. Eventually, it will go through various stages of review and processing and (hopefully) be approved.

Not really. I've had a form come back approved before my check was cashed.

Based on when mine was mailed and factoring the time it took to get to them, the very first thing the ATF did was open the envelope and cash my check.

Check cashing means alot really. It means they got your application. Some people don't even get their application to the place and lost somewhere. I would call back 2 weeks or so to see if it went into pending, then wait till its approved.

I never thought of that as it does at least insure the fact that it has arrived.  Thanks for the call tip as I will mark it on the calendar so I don't forget.

I still would call 2 weeks or a month later to see if it went into pending status.
