Those forms are just around the corner & I can't imagine how many there must be. |

So we're still looking at about 9 months, door to door on paper forms. It's getting better (at one point, we were seeing about 11 months), but I don't think they're working on October forms yet. If I had to guess, I'd say a few guys got lucky and somehow got their paperwork shuffled to the front of the line. ETA: I see that there are several approved from October 2013 on NFA tracker. I wonder if they were e-filed and the person inputting them just didn't click the right box? Otherwise, it would mean that we just have the slowest examiner doing our forms.....

There are examiners waiting around for the Data Entry people to do their jobs, but instead, they put a phone on the Data Entry person's desk? I call BS on this. If some Secretary (the ones REALLY answering the phones) can have access to the computer that gives current status, why can't the people who submitted the forms have the same access? |

Check cashed to pending dates are not a known quantity. I don't have a crystal ball, I call weekly until I get the data. And the other dates are important as well. I don't just look at the trend data, I look at the raw data points for outliers and trends... one of which we are experiencing which is why I posted this. |

You will not get a letter regarding this status change. You have to call the NFA number with your name/trust's name, dealer's name and serial number of the item in question for this information. Check cashed to pending is around 2 months. There is no need to call weekly until it goes pending. |

Haha well, I purchased my suppressor last march, it's been hell getting the cleo sign off and my paper forms were actually sent out in August. So I've waited over a year already. Since it was so miserable getting the cleo sign off I went the trust route and submitted 2 more suppressors last month via e-form and with my luck now the eform time has lengthened to almost match paper forms. Oh last update they gave me was to expect approval around this July, then corrected herself and said October.

Hopefully yall don't have an experience like the one I'm going through. 2 form 4s submitted in May 2013, Pending July 2013, Both approved Mar 2014. Great so far right? One arrived 7 days after approval and one has not arrived after 5 weeks and counting. Unfortunately they are for a SBR (1 stamp) and integrated Silencer (1 stamp) - so not having both is the same as not having any.
Very frustrating for NFA to lose one before mailing or for the mail to lose it en route. |

Oh last update they gave me was to expect approval around this July, then corrected herself and said October. Weird, I had the exact same experience a couple of weeks ago. My dealer barely got my forms into the system (Mid March) before it crashed and after it had been down a couple weeks I got nervous so I called just to verify that they were actually in the system (FYI they only asked me for the serial number and dealer name). The nice lady I spoke with first said I should expect approval by June and then corrected herself and said September. That falls exactly in line with your July and October. (Purely) Wishful thinking but I think that they see a projected approval date of X and are supposed to say X+3 months to account for any delays that may come up that way we don't start calling ever other day in month X. Please don't smash my hopes and dreams of having my cans in by my birthday. Let me dream a little. 
Random observation, I did not hear the typical background chatter of a call center while talking t her so either they all have their own high wall cubes/offices or they don't have a lot of phone calls. |

How many approvals have you seen from October 2013? Just the one? Or a couple? We are getting back paper forms from late June 2013 at this time. I haven't seen any August forms approved yet for us. So we're still looking at about 9 months, door to door on paper forms. It's getting better (at one point, we were seeing about 11 months), but I don't think they're working on October forms yet. If I had to guess, I'd say a few guys got lucky and somehow got their paperwork shuffled to the front of the line. ETA: I see that there are several approved from October 2013 on NFA tracker. I wonder if they were e-filed and the person inputting them just didn't click the right box? Otherwise, it would mean that we just have the slowest examiner doing our forms..... I just started a new thread for November 2013 dates, because I got home from work and (much to my surprise) had my first stamp waiting for me. Paper F1 for a trust, with a 11/9/13 Pending date approved 4/22/14. Definitely faster than I anticipated. And it was definitely paper:

Looks like the rumors could be true. I just got a call from my dealer, my paperwork came in today. Form 4, snail mail, trust, submitted late September, pending late October and now approved. Yea!!! It's my birthday tomorrow and now I have a new Thunderbeast 30P-1 to celebrate with, once I pick it up tomorrow after work. Just under seven months from the time I mailed the paperwork.

I would LOVE to have a birthday present... love even more to have them before that. |

Things may be picking up for trusts but seemingly not so for individuals. I submitted in late August and went pending 10/2...still not approved yet.

Why would you call weekly for updates? To slow down the whole process This has been discussed ad nauseum and is a myth. The secretaries who answer the phone are not NFA examiners, the phone calls do not slow the process down at all. Personally I think it's nutty to call weekly on something that will take 6-12 months. Every 6-10 weeks is plenty often if you want updates. |

Calling weekly or even monthly is a bit obsessive IMO. It is not going to get your stamp back any faster.
I will call after about 8-9 months to make sure there aren't any problems, the stamp will come when it comes. |

Has anyone found out if they are improving the approval dates they give on the phone?
I have three on a trust I sent in by mail 11/27/13. I called and foind they went pending on 1/14/14 and was told a Nob.2014 approval date. It did not sound too sped up to me. |
