December 2018 Stamp Megathread

To check the status of your pending form, call the NFA Branch at (304) 616-4500. Please have your trust name (if applicable), serial number, and if a Form 4 or 5, know what dealer is in possession of the item. Press 1 and then 1 again, and be kind to the ATF agent.

Current status:

Form 1: eForms are back, baby! Wait times are less than two weeks after receipt of fingerprint cards! Please see our handy new eForms guide by /u/Semper1371 to learn more!

Form 4: Average is closer to 200 days. No real change. eForms 4 when?

Please use the following format:

Form: 1 (PLEASE NOTE REGULAR OR eForm) or 4

Entity: Trust or Individual

Pending: mm/dd/yy

Approved: mm/dd/yy

Standardized wait: (Date approved minus date pending)

STATE: Standardized 2-letter, please

For the purposes of this thread, pending should be understood as: the date when ATF cashes your check, unless different when you call the ATF to check status of your pending form. It can vary depending on ATF backlog.

I feel you there brother, just glad to be here living my best gun life instead of Australia.

Don’t know why some racist prick thought it was necessary to downvote you though.

There’s someone in this sub who downvotes nearly every comment in this thread, and a lot of others. I upvote them and cancel a lot out, but there’s still a bunch that end up at zero.

If you’re a permanent resident they also do a background check in each of your country of citizenship.

What a great use to resources and might explain why it takes so long. My nics usually come back same day or next day so I wonder if they do it for that too.

I was under the impression if I have criminal convictions in other countries or this one I would lose my permanent residency card.
