For all. I submitted my Form 1 Eform with the ATF on Feb 26 and it came back approved on March 12th. That is a total of 13 business days. If you have any questions on the process please message. Do not message me about anything incriminating. Only if you need help with a Form 1.

I’m helping a friend fill hers out and haven’t done an eforms F1 in a while. Do the prints and pics get mailed in?

Did you receive an email, or did you have to log on to find out? Sent mine Feb 28th.

I had two F1 individual approved this month. First one was 15 days and just got one 9 days approval from the time I filed it. On the first one, the examiner emailed Saturday evening since none of my answers saved on the form. I emailed him all the missing info and Sunday at 6am it was approved! I will never do another Form1 paper again....still waiting on one from late October.

Wow! I guess I need to e file! This is fantastic. I’ve never sent one online. So you just upload your passport photo, can you take a pic of the pic or what? Scan it? What’s the process for that? Then just mail in your fingerprint cards? Anyone do their own prints? If so, how do you do it? Does the prints have to be on the same cards they use when paper filing?

I’ll try to answer your questions, the way I did mine.
For the photo, I take my drivers license photo, printed it in a 2x2” and scanned that onto the area that required a photo.

For the fingerprints, I got the atf forms (ordered 5 for $8 online). Went to the courthouse, had them do it($10). You need two sets done and mail them in along with your cover letter that you get a couple days after filing.

You upload the photo during when you are filling out the form. Just download a passport photo phone app and take a pic and email it to yourself. Once the form is submitted, you’ll get an email with a cover sheet with a barcode. Mail prints and the form according to instructions on it.
I have no idea about who can do prints. I just go to a place and have them knocked out.

Anyone know if they are requiring prints a pictures for each form filed or can you file multiple in the same day and just send it kinda like a batch upload? I have 3 that need to get filed as of right now. This seems much better than paper filing

You upload the picture, so that is easy. I have heard mixed information about the fingerprints. Some claim success by sending two print cards in with multiple cover letters and they accepted them. I mean, the wording states to send in two cards with your letterhead.

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I’m better off just sending in a set for each upload then. Don’t want to chance it and prolong the process

I just filled mine, now I need to send fingerprints.
I can go to my local police station and they have the correct fingerprint cards?

The ATF will send you the proper fingerprint cards for free. I suggest trying and rolling your own. They don't have to be perfect as the way the ATF stores them is not like if you were a criminal. I believe they don't even scan them for eligibility, they just get dropped in a file with the rest of your stuff.

I just bought some cards on Amazon, I should have them this weekend and will go to printing on Monday, I'm curious how long it will take since I'm not a American citizen

If you need cards quickly, we have the correct cards already stamped with ATF's ORI in stock and ready to ship. $5 for a 4 pack.

Submitted my F1 as a trust with three responsible persons. Was submitted through a S.S. kiosk. The check was cashed 2 July 2018. I called the ATF the other day and they’re still waiting in the FBI to run the backgrounds. I’ll be surprised if I see the stamp by this July.
