Yeah, there is zero rhyme or reason to it.  I had one approved in 22 hours a couple of months ago.  Submitted another F4 and I'm right at a month as of today.  F1 I'm over 2 months.  Another F4 is over a week now.  The entire process is flawed and beyond broken.

My first zero dollar tax stamp was approved in 7 days, including Saturday and Sunday.  However, I do have three F1 SBRs that are at 50+ days and counting.

Form 4 transfer and Form 1 making forms are handled by different examiners and Form 1s are a much less automated process comparatively.

Form 1s retuning now are coming in around 75-80 days, so you're still within the "normal" window at this time there.
