    Just curious how are you guys getting your approval dates before they are mailed out? Is it by calling? Or is there a Web link your using?

    I just called.

    2x Form 4 Suppressor - Trust
    Checks cashed: 8/17/15
    Approved: 1/16/16

    Apparently someone was working at the NFA Branch on Saturday... on a holiday weekend. I'm a bit surprised.

    Still waiting for mine to be approved. Went Pending Sept 1, 2015.

    Waiting until Feb 1 to call. Hopefully approved by then. I know they are swamped though.

    E-file form 1 sbr
    9/29 submitted
    1/22 approved

    My earliest ones have to be getting close. I have a few from early October then more in November, December and last week. Would probably make sense if they were all done at once. Wanna bet on the odds of that?

    I am just about at 6 months waiting on a Form 4. I doubt that these times will be reduced anytime soon, even with more examiners being hired, as I'm sure there has been/still is a run on NFA items given all the fear lately

    Y'know I was wondering if I was supposed to include the letters in the serial number. I'm glad I did:D

    Damn. I just submitted one without the letters. What do you have to do to fix it. Resubmit the form with a correction or ask for refund and start the process all over again?

    You have to cancel it, then resubmit. You will receive a refund...eventually. If this is an Efile, open your account, go to the top of the page where it says FAQ, Ask the experts(or something to that effect) etc. Open 'Ask the Experts' and ask how to go about canceling an Efile. BTDT:o

    I should just unsubscribe from this thread. I nearly forgot I was waiting for something for the first month. Every time I see this thread pop up I'm in agony... :banghead:
