This batch approval is what I've been waiting for from the beginning and have complained to my congressman and senator about for a 9 months now.

In an electronic system, there's no way this SHOULDN'T be the case everytime.

Your turn comes in the wait list, your background check comes through and gets applied to all of your pending forms and they get approved.

Hopefully this is the case for everyone going forward
My last suppressor approvals were batched. I got 8 at the same time. best part about my story is they werent even remotely filed at the same time. earliest to latest maybe 4 month difference.
hoping that happens on the 3 im currently waiting on.

Hoping for the same. Im submitting 5 next week, I have 1 at 170? and another at 70 maybe? I imagine it wont happen, but I can at least hope

This is what @NateSavannah looks like in real life. This is why he got 8 at the same time!

Slightly off topic but couldn't find the answer anywhere. Does anyone know if buying 2 or more suppressors at once puts you on an atf list similar to how buying 2 firearms does? Don't want them to come after my puppers. I'm assuming not since it's 2 different forms but I figured I'd ask.
 
One of three, yesterday.
Wait: 272 Days

Pending: 2022-06-29

Approved: 2023-03-28 16:51

Entity: Individual 0

Dealer: SS (Silencer Shop Kiosk) Electronic EFT Upload

State: NH

Examiner: Robin C.

Control Number: 2022602128

Item: Surefire SOCOM 556RC2 5.56 / .223 (Silencer)- used the 30% discount coupon that came with my Geissele 11.5" URGI

Now I wait until my can from August comes up. ATF seems to be right at the 270 day mark. If it’s true that they are using contractors to augment the usual examiner cadre, perhaps they are speeding up. I’ve noticed on the Reddit thread that there are some people getting approved with a July date.

Buying one suppressor puts you on a list my friend.
 
Anyone see this tease fest yesterday?
Yes. These are from the same dealer that had mass approvals from Kansas last week. It’s a dealer called “Frontier Justice” and they have locations in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri because the ownership/FFL changed, so all the customers are getting expedited approvals, another was approved after only 47 days.

Does anyone know if control#s are chronologically assigned or random generated in a range, just curious if there’s actually 60k people ahead of me in line or maybe just a couple thousand.

I'm glad this anomaly has been "solved"
Now that I don't have to worry about getting a Kansas PO Box, I wonder what it would take to get my FFL to change their name...

I was hoping for a batch approval with my second can that was resubmitted in December because they took 9 fucking months to process as a withdrawal but no dice.
Quick question for you since you are on your second can. I applied for my first in Jan, did a trust, submitted everything it said received on silencer shops thing, and I got the received email through the atf. When I log into my Eforms though I'm not seeing my form anywhere on those drop-down menus for submitted, denied, in-process and so forth. Is that normal? I hit up a local gun smith he told me not to worry the atf drags ass when processing stuff. I'm just worried since I paid for the stamp, my suppressor and such already.

You will not see anything ever because it’s the gun store filing the form 4, not you. I don’t know if that fact is on any of the FAQs but it really should be.

Bluedog is correct. This will not show up on your eForms site. You just have to wait patiently on the status email to come through.

Ya it's definitely not, and I even reached out to the if you have any questions not covered on the FAQ's for the atf send an email here....that was 2 months ago.
