LEO duty use?My Form 4 got pending status on June 27. I submitted my expedition paperwork today. We'll see how it goes.
Trust or individual?New to the forum, just looking for some reassurance on who is in the same boat as me.
I have seen many approvals recently coming from October 2022-December 2022.
My e-file through silencer shop was submitted 8/20/22, im at 322 days.
When I called the ATF earlier for an update, they told me that the "average" wait time right now is 230 days...
how many people out there have e-forms out there older than mine, make me feel better lol.
I feel like the ATF has just put my application on the back burner while they are flowing through applications from december.
I’m guessing that has something to do with it, trusts seem to go longer. Still, you’re definitely past normal. When you called they just said it was pending I assume?Single shot trust

Yep, they can’t give me any information apart from saying that my application is still in a “pending” status.

My date is 8/22/22 and nothing yet for me. I emailed atf a week ago and they said the fbi hadn’t reviewed my nics yet. I contacted my congressman and they are doing an inquiryNew to the forum, just looking for some reassurance on who is in the same boat as me.

YesThose with batch approvals do the emails come back to back from the ATF?
I contacted the fbi and they said nothing lolI had to go to my Senator (yeah, way blue state but they all have young constituent service staffers). ATF replied that after a fucking year it was still with the FBI for NICS background check, that I was on NICS "Delay", and they told me to contact the FBI (which only has 35K employees and absolutely zero contact info for NICS).
The entire system is utterly opaque and its fucking ridiculous that we can't get actual status of where exactly in the process our submittals are. “Pending” is all you get…could be years and all they’d say is “pending”. Pitiful
I did finally find an email for the FBI VAF office (UPIN office), sent them a VERY politely email stating that I knew this was not their area of responsibility but could they please give me a contact in the NICS office that handles ATF initiated checks. To my surprise and shock, I got a live fire, he wrote back the next day to tell me that my NICS check was recently completed and sent back to the ATF, and when I asked what "recently" meant he then indicated it was approved and sent back the day he asked about it. How about that coincidence (sigh) It was sitting under a rhetorical box of donuts on someone's desk is my view.
At no time during this process did our asshole Federal government ever provide a way for a tax paying citizen to see where in the the process is their form 4 and what, if anything, is holding it up. It just sucks (my general view of government efficiency and competence overall).
I did recently submit an e-form (with graphic file of my fingerprint card) to the FBI's VAF in order to get a UPIN. That was approved in less than one working day!! So, next time they say I'm on "Delay" I'm going to throw a whole truck load of bullshit flags at them.
And did the ATF say that with e-file the Form 4 processing would be 90 days? Yes, they did....its fucking hilarious.

Well, yeah....but that argument won't get your can out of jail, right?Well, technically, it’s illegal for the government to tax a right, so the entire NFA is completely unconstitutional
Fucking bummer, man. I must have gotten the only live wire there....or maybe after I provoked a reply from my guy they fired him and re-briefed their "fuck the tax paying citizen, no update" policy. Or, perhaps because I mentioned contacting my Senator's office who opened an inquiry (but prob not). I guess I just got lucky.I contacted the fbi and they said nothing lol
Yea Same thing from atf just pending . I did an inquiry through my congressman. Hopefully I’ll get it before a yearWell, yeah....but that argument won't get your can out of jail, right?

As you know, all you will get out of the ATF is "its pending" or "its approved". But, have you called them (the ATF...the folks in W VA are actually rather nice and polite in my experience). Start there and when you get the "its pending" then go to your Senator's office with the 11 month so far wait for a process that's running 7-8 months currently (is this right?). Now, if you want to be on really, really, really solid ground with your complaint to your Senator's office, wait a month and go with with "its been a year!!" LOL
They will inquire to the ATF who will say more than just "pending". If the ATF points to the FBI, then sic the Senator's office on the FBI for a status of your ATF initiated NICS check. Do not just accept the "talk to the FBI" from the ATF. You need an official office to make an inquiry. For all we know....they don't even have it (lost, dog ate it, whatever).
Sorry it didn't work out better for you.
Who said it wasn't fine? Did you get a rejection?I had ti update my picture with SS. Not because it was a year old, but because the ery top of my hair was cut off. That picture was fine for my last 2 cans, but not fine now????
Nah I didn't get a rejection thank goodness. I got a notice from SS that something was incomplete, then logged in and saw their note and saved another photo to then make it complete in my profile I think it wasWho said it wasn't fine? Did you get a rejection?
I must be in the most common letter of last name groupThey are assigned to examiner by 1'st letter of last name.
That's not trueThey are assigned to examiner by 1'st letter of last name.
There are no dogs at ATF HQ.Well, yeah....but that argument won't get your can out of jail, right?

Well this is a new one. Yall need to go check your SS profile.
I had to do a new picture last week, now this week they are saying that my wife needs to submit fingerprints ect... OR, be properly removed from my trust....
Of course this has me perplexed because she isn't on my trust nor has she been for years. Her name doesn't appear anywhere on the trust docs that SS has on my dashboard right now???? I've sent an email to try and find out what's going on here, just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
There's been some issues with some others through the years but I've never had any kind of issue with them before over the last 3 years and 5 ish cans they've handled.I thought SS was pretty well known for that kind of asshattery ?
If I ever have had any issues a quick call has always fixed it. Good luck.There's been some issues with some others through the years but I've never had any kind of issue with them before over the last 3 years and 5 ish cans they've handled.
They did respond this morning and said they had fixed it. It looks good on my profile so, looks like it'd good now. Still don't know how they got my wife's full name on there thoughIf I ever have had any issues a quick call has always fixed it. Good luck.
Still don't know how they got my wife's full name on there though
It finally came thru? This is the one we talked about earlier this week? And it was approved after contacting your Congress person? If so, did you see any sort of inquiry to and response from the ATF?I never thought I would get to post this
