Official NFA Transfer Times Thread

[RetreatHell]

I'm now past 6 weeks, and the check is still not cashed. My dealer says it's still too soon to call because that's the new norm, but I don't know him well enough to know if that's true. Time for me to call the ATF or keep waiting? If I do call, can they even give me a status on a transfer that hasn't even had the check cashed yet?

I would go ahead and call 'em, man. Although I'm new to this NFA game as well, as you can see on the previous page my checks took only a week and a half to get cashed, and I sent my 3 forms off only a few DAYS before you did.

That's my 2 cents brother. I'd call 'em and politely ask what's up. It couldn't hurt anything.

Good luck bro,

I would definitely call.

I sent my first form 4 on March 22.

I just checked my bank account and it cleared March 27th.

You might want to check that out.

Checks are cashed fast..within two weeks easy. That's the first thing they do when they receive your paperwork.

My two Form 4s were approved last week..waiting on a call from my dealer. Went pending on February 23rd. Mailed on December 17th.

It won't work to call and check at this point.

I sent my paperwork on Jan 1, and my check was cashed Jan 6th. I called this morning and was advised that my paperwork was not assigned to an examiner until March 5th.

Just as an FYI.... the person who answered the phone was almost at the point of being rude, stating that "if you're going to get involved in a process like this you can't have any expectations..."
