I spoke with the NFA branch basically it's a crapshoot at this point.  

They just told me to keep checking the website

My first SBR was approved in just over 40 days earlier this year. Freaking sucks.

This. I'm on day 77, F1 Individual SBR,  first F1, multiple approved F4s. Waiting on this to be approved, so I can use it as a template for other F1s.
To vote for, sign, or enforce a blatently unconstitutional law, without amending the Constitution, is a direct attack on the Constitution, and therefore; treason.

Form 1 SBR Trust

Submitted:  3/26
DISAPPROVED:  6/10

Resubmitted:  6/10  *
Approved:  6/12


* original reviewer agreed to fast track due to questionable disapproval (and me being in Virginia), so I resubmitted and emailed him the new control number.

Is it possible for you to provide info on how you obtained reviewer contact info for your resubmission? I have tried the eforms email as well as calling and have had no luck in "fast-tracking" any resubmissions (I have had three this year.)? Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Guess I'm going to have to do the same thing.  Submitted on 4/25.  I'll wait until next week, hopefully they get to that date range soon.  The Form1s definitely took a time hit after the first of this year.  I had 6 last year that were approved within a week.

I was able to get a hold of my Reps office and they got the ball rolling. Turns out because of incoming gun control in CO a few other constituents are having similar concerns so they have a few that they are working on.

Has anyone heard of any Eform 1's  being approved  for Virginia residents after July 1?

See the thread below. One poster submitted on 6/29 and it got approved in July, but with conditions that it must meet VA AWB restrictions.

Another poster submitted a form 1 on July 1st with a picture of the gun in pre AWB configuration. He has not posted that it has been approved yet.

Yes, ATF needs your official permission to share any details about your form with anyone else because it's personal tax information.

One would think that since everything with Eforms is tied together including Form 4’s from your dealer that there should be a way to see everything pending. Boom one background check, one key stoke and everything pending is in front of the examiner. Backlog would disappear in a couple weeks, but I digress; it’s government and thinking it could magically run efficiently is a pipe dream.
