One month ago today I had a form 1 get denied. The examiner actually made a mistake and when I pointed it out he had me resubmit it and he approved me the same day. He said the refund would take "about 90 days". Is that accurate?
Not that it matters, but why does it take so long to refund a credit card? It didn't take them 90 days to charge it. The examiner said it takes "about 90 days due to shear volume" ... that doesn't make sense to me. I wasn't going to argue because it wasn't going to make a difference, they hold all the cards... and I was just happy to have another SBR lower that day!

While I have never personally had a denied form, every thread I see on the issue seems to point to 90 days plus for refunds to be processed.
And as to why, the only answer is "our government in action". The people that approve the forms are not the same people who process the payments, and when a refund order happens it has to be submitted back through channels to the payments people who have to process the refund... and knowing the government it is the job of only one person to do that and they have a stack of refund requests a yard high on their desk for them to process through on the two days a week they actually do refund requests. |

Thanks JsARCLIGHT. I kind of see why it takes so long to get the actual forms approved, but one would think the denial would automatically trigger a refund. I am clearly wasting my time typing this right now, but I just had to get that out there. Nice avatar by the way. Makes me think of Walter Sobchak. |
| Oh I'm sure the system could be drastically modernized, interconnected and streamlined... but, as some say, that would make it too easy. The rolling thought is that the NFA process is kept deliberately clunky and the whole "90 plus days to issue a refund" thing just adds more fuel to that fire. |

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread.In April I cancled a form 1 and was wondering if it every really got done.
I had thought they may just process it then deny it. I hate jamming up the system. It wasn't completely my fault do to a glitch while efiling.. Now knowing it's 90+ days for refund it was beneficial to everyone to call and cancel then let it work it's way through the system. |

Just curious why all of you were denied/disapproved? Paperwork mistake? Want to make sure I don't make the same mistake  1. Chose "multi" from drop down for caliber 2. Chose the wrong model from drop down instead of submitting exactly what was engraved 3. Put his name instead of trust name, or not the complete trust name as Licensee/Permittee I'd be willing to bet >95% of the denials are for one of those three reasons (not counting intentional disapprovals when people request a submission be cancelled) |
