    I think it only shows on the physical letter.
    What date did you get the NICS number?
    12/11/22- Submitted
    12/15/22-Accepted
    01/11/23-NICS
    01/24/23- APPROVED
    ??/??/??- Received in the mail
    23HGP-1251XX
    Congrats! My timeline is exactly the same as yours, except my submitted date was 12/10/22. Accepted date and NICS dates are identical. Will I get an approval tonight, maybe tomorrow??? We will see...

    Some of the delays have been found to be issues with USPS. Where you live dictates what USPS facilities handle your mail. Some of the facilities have known issues with processing speed. Once it leaves MSP’s facility, it is out of their control.

    There were a couple occasions of logistical issues with printing that caused a hiccup or two back in the height of the process between July and September/October. Those card printers are pumping out a lot of cards so there’s always the chance of a hardware breakdown, too.

    I think others are seeing what I am seeing. NICS on 1/6/23 with no more movement on the application, yet others a week after that are already approved.

    when I got approved last week. I printed the e mail that listed the nics date as the day before approval date.
    Never did receive a e mail or notice of being assigned nics. Still waiting on permit in hand.

    Movement today--just got the disposition email.

    Accepted 12/10
    NICS - 1/6
    Approved today - 1/25
    Permit # 23HGP-1255XX

    Looks like 19 days since NICS & 46 since app accepted. In hand TBD...

    NICS to “approved” is, relatively, irrelevant. NICS can occur anytime after “accepted”. The “accepted” to “approved” day-count is what you want to be comparing.

    That being said, it looks like they are moving at a pretty good pace, currently. Down significantly from what it was a few months back.
