Well I had my Interview with ATF of Aug 2 and he was very informative.  Basically went over all the Regulations how to fill out all the documents needed.  He informed me that I was very well prepared.

He told me that I should receive my license in 4-6 weeks.  Is that normal??

I am working on week 3 and the anticipation is killing me.  I really hope I don’t have to wait the full 6 weeks.

Another question I have is can I go ahead register for my NICS account while waiting for the actual license to show up?

Thanks!

Can't sign up for NICS until you have an actual FFL.

4-6 weeks actually sounds pretty good.  I got mine last Nov. and the wait was 8 weeks.  If it goes beyond that, you can call the licensing center and find out who is in in charge of licensing for your region.  I finally did that after my looong wait and it happened to be on her desk.  Had the license 2 days later.

I've considered doing this a few times.  Were there any special things you needed to do to the house such as a safe, separate area, etc.?

Even though he already gave me my FFL #?

It is not a complete number, your expiration date isn't in there. He probably gave you the shortened version of it. Until the licesning center issues it, you're not an FFL.

Is there any way to check the status of your application?  Sent mine in 10 weeks ago.
