    I wouldn't hold your breath. I have a friend who's been waiting over a year on a eForm 4 and another one that's been waiting almost 5 months now.
    Yet some people waited for an unbearable 30 days and finally had enough, called their congressman, and got approved within a week. If we only knew.

    ive seen lots of sub 30 day approvals recently. ALL on individual eform 4. Unfortunately i filed all mine as individual trusts and still waiting on a pair. One 90+ days and the other at 60+. Seems like the quick turns only apply to can's filed for an individual; or, is it just what im seeing?

    Returned: 03/06/2024 approved

    Absolutely crazy...in a good way. The shortest turnaround I got was 60 days on two form 4's, but that was because I strategically purchased them right before I got military orders to move, which I knew would force them to expedite!

    I know it’s anecdotal but there are tons of reports of 2-14 day approvals on Reddit and discord. It’s making me want to test it out even though I don’t need anything else.

    It pisses me off, a little, that trusts take so much longer. I’m at 100 days, (11/30 & (12/1) and counting. I’d like to know why it takes longer. I can’t imagine how the guys that have been waiting more than a year, feel. Or, how bad it sucked before e-file. Especially since I had 4 approvals last year alone

    Try waiting 420, 407, 407, and 401 days for 4x cans. That was 2021 into 2022 for me. They did a batch approval, thank God. I've also waited 5.5 months on a eForm 1 too.

    The eForm 4 launch really screwed the pooch for all of the paper form backlog. There were virtually no approvals for almost 5 months, compared to before the launch.
