Since it was my FFL who E-filed the Form 4 for my Omega 9K, is there a way to add that form on to my ATF account I created when I E-filed my Form 1?
If not, is the the only way to check the status on Form 4 is to call ATF directly?
No, there isn’t. As noted, it was submitted by the FFL and only appears in their eforms account. You can call the number, but with eforms, there doesn’t seem much point. All they will tell you is that it’s “pending”, because if it was approved or rejected, you and your FFL would know pretty much immediately. Not like with paper where it may have been approved, but the actual form was still in the mail.

The only (semi) reliable way to watch F4's seems to be to see where they are in the calendar of approvals versus yours. They seem to march pretty much FIFO on eF4's. (not true on F1's). So at this point they are up to about end of March submissions. If I had a Feb I might actually call. But a March or later one there is simply no point as Dwill104 advises they simply will not tell you anything useful.

Efiled Form 4 on 4/13/22 approved 1/7/23, so 269 days. One week short of 9 months for me. Of course notification arrived after local fun shop is closed for the weekend but then again the weather is crappy anyway.This message has been edited. Last edited by: bettysnephew,

This shows why the Reddit tracker is useless. By the dates you gave, it’s over 250 days. Most of the recent posts I’ve seen show that people are currently getting back submissions from April, which supports around 250 days. Not sure what voodoo math they are using to get 155-160 days. Best to look at the submission date of recent approval to get idea of when yours might come back instead of some tracker.

125 days in waiting on my TBAC 7 and 100 days on a mask 22. From what I can tell, currently they are reviewing paperwork from late March/early April so if the pace stays the same it’s looking like 8-9 months.
The last 2 I bought were at the very end of the paper forms and they took 14 months. 8-9 months sounds good to me.
