    I thought I would start keeping track of the start date when the MSP starts working on approving applications for a particular "acceptance date". Remember the MSP approves many applications that don't show up on this forum, the change could happen at anytime on the date reported and I will ignore the occasional outlier so I will post the date when we see several reports and post the next start date when we get several reports from the next day. Over time you should be able to better estimate how long it will take to get to approving your particular acceptance date.


    8/1 started 9/14 @ 7:07 PM
    8/2 started 9/16 @ 11:06 PM
    8/3 started 9/19 @ 3:30 PM
    8/4 started 9/22 @ 12:40 PM
    8/5 started
    8/6 started
    8/7 started

    So approximately 3 days of acceptance took 8/9 days to issue approvals.

    So for a rough estimate of when you might see your approval, count the number of days between the acceptance date they are currently approving and the acceptance date of your application and multiply the number of days by 3 and that will be the number of days until you will see the approval +/-.

    For example they are currently working on 8/4 acceptances so if your accepted date is 8/20 then it would be 17 days times 3 equals 51 days until approval. So from today those with acceptance dates of 8/20 can expect their approval on or about November 10th, assuming nothing changes.

    17 days X 3 = 51 days before approval.

    This is awesome work. Thank you.

    I thought they weren’t accepting on Sunday’s though? If true, then that’s three days we get back for each week, right?

    Thank you for the formula. Its crazy to see 8/4 guys are 49 days from accepted to approval.
    Many of us are getting NICS around the 40+ day mark LOL. I'm at 38 days woohoo!

    I dont remember when they started accepting/approval on weekends but even then it wont be 3 days for a weekend. Mondays are known for being the highest for acceptance and it looks like tuesdays aren't far off

    7/31'st was a sunday and was practically skipped all together for acceptance/approvals.

    Weekend approvals are not at the volume that weekday approvals are, part of me suspects that approvals are 2 part thing internal approval by MSP and then approval notification with final date being final approval with notification. Hence why they have some approvals happening over the weekend but not the volume.

    I hope it’s more “-“ than “+”, or that would put me somewhere around 126 days! ⏳
