It had been my monthly tradition. Was bowled over when the lady said “approved”
Yup. If it’s approved, they instantly say “it’s approved”.
If they go into the “this was received on this date, bla bla bla” it’s still pending.
Yes there is a fee, I believe you can order them off the website. If not call them and they will mail you cards out.
Sad part is you will get the error fixed and approved before many of us paper people get approvedFor all of y'all hating on the eforms approvals, I got denied because somehow after my form-4 went from "US Citizen" on SS signed documents, to a "NON-US Citizen" when it went into the ATF system.
I'm going to cry in a corner now
I have a check cashed date of October 7th. I hope you can beat that with a 75 day turnaround

Good morning all, I have had a paper trust for my NFA items for several years and occasionally follow this thread.
My question is this, can I somehow E-file for “new items” and still use my original paper trust? My intent is to continue to keep any new items conveniently inclusive with the years old trust. Any input is greatly appreciated. TIA

yes, you'll just file as a trust, same process as normal F4, you'll just need to provide any supporting documents and responsible party prints in electronic format instead of physical.
Got good news today, and this has been a good week!

I need to stop checking this thread. Just makes me sad. Certified 18 January, still waiting
This is the kind of shit that makes me just fucking hate the ATF
I'm very glad that @AFGWS got his cans.
But while his paper forms took 9 months, there are others who are over a year.
How the fuck can the ATF not just do first in first out.....FFS. It ain't that hard.

Maybe I'll get it before I die.

Good news here. Purchased a .300blk SBR from Vance Outdoors 10/21, stamp came in yesterday. Purchased a sparrow .22 from another dealer same day, it's stamp came in yesterday as well. Just shy of 6 months. Individual.
^thats the shit that chaps my ass, how the hell did you get a 6 month wait? An FFL at a range I went to last weekend mentioned that he can have them turned around in 10-11 months, is that possible from an FFL??
I have a F/A waiting on a stamp, that's been 8.5 months. Maybe it'll be in this batch. Prior to this (2019), the last ones were 6mos, prior 10 months.
I called the ATF a few weeks back and they said "current is about 8 months."

Just received my tax stamp via E-file, purchased on Jan 18th 2022, picked up the can today April 20th 2022. Needless to say I'm a happy camper.
still waiting on 2 from April 9, 2021. I seriously thought it would be less than 1 yr this time....
And just after bitching, I call them and voila....both cans approved yesterday. Finally after 13 months!

Have your serial #, transferor, and trust name. You will be on hold for awhile

Chaps my ass too. That and the stuff about it depending which examiner's desk full of folders it sits on is utter BS too.
Apparently those assholes at the ATF have not learned the meaning of "first in, first out" and WTF are they doing in a pile on an examiner's desk. This ain't hard, have ONE FUCKING PILE IN CHRONO ORDER RECEIVED and when an examiner is ready for another file, they just take the one on top.
Same as my attitude about those jerk-offs pushing e-files out before they have worked off their incredibly incompetent back log of paper forms.
The ATF says all you need to know about government
