7/22/22 application approved 4/10/23. Yea me!

My eForm 1 (paid stamp) still pending. Submitted 01/13/2023. 3 months tomorrow. And yet, forms submitted February are already getting approved. Whoever got my Form1 must be on vacation.

I submitted two eforn 1 on January 20,2023 still no movement. Still says submitted status.

eForm4 submitted 7/29/22 approved 4/12/23

My first efile form 4 for a customer, submitted 09/09/22 approved 04/10/23

eForm 4 Trust
5 Submitted 7/25/22
2 Submitted 2/24/23
All Approved 4/8/23

That would in some sense blow away the old idea that the ATF is not willing to do batching.

I'm not much of a Reddit guy, but r/NFA is starting to stack up a lot of anecdotal evidence of batch approvals. I imagine eForms makes that relatively easy and there is a benefit in workload for the examiner to check for other pending forms for a particular user and knock them all down at once.

My co-worker just informed me that he received his eF1 for his Brace (NO $200 fee) today. He just eFiled the form 3 weeks ago. He showed me the approved form. This is F'd up. I have been waiting for over 3 months now. Still shows pending or in process.

I think the braced Form 1s are going through a different workflow and they're just plowing through them.

My latest suppressor, Dead Air Wolfman was submitted on 09/02/22 and approved on 04/14/23.

I filed a traditional Form 1 on 1/26 and two pistol brace Form 1s on 2/16. All still pending.

I did file another traditional Form 1 on 1/1 and it was approved 2/15.

My final F1 in the pipeline was approved.
Submitted 3/10/23.
Approved 4/18/23.
Filed as individual. SBR. $200 fee paid.
Now to get my engravings done. Hopefully this week or next (2/3 were approved 2 weeks ago, and this was a straggler).

My brother did a brace eform1 individual with paper prints on 1/20 and got approved today.

My individual from 1/17 and trust from 2/18 are both still pending.

“Amnesty” Form 1
Submitted 2/2/23

Submitted the same 2/6. Still nothing either. Guess I don’t feel so bad

I'm actually looking at the reports of others with tax paid stuck in limbo as a positive clue. It means they are treating them all the same as a class and its not just mine that are problematic.

Got my eForm4 APPROVAL today. Submitted 09/05/22. APPROVED 04/24/23.

Nothing still on my eForm1 filed 01/13/23.

Email the examiner from the one that was just approved. Their email addresses are usually first.last@atf.gov.

Say something like:

"You approved a Form 4 for me/my trust under control number XXXXXX the other day. I have a Form 1 pending under control number YYYYYYY that I thought would have been approved weeks ago. Would you be able to check and see if there is something wrong with that Form so I can address it?"

Include the serial number for the Form 1 gun. Thank them for their time.

I had a Form 1 disapproved due to an error on my part in January. I resubmitted it about four days later. The other day, on a whim, I emailed the examiner that disapproved my first form asking if they could check to see if there was an issue. My form was approved 19 minutes later.

I would think that addressing individual's at NFA branch was very frowned upon and likely would not have positive results. ATF has a specific way to inquire. just my opinion.
