I've been waiting a LONG damn time now to post my transfer time on this near-dead thread, and now, finally, I can!!

Form 4 and Form 1 mailed: 02/06/2009
Checks Cashed: 02/17/2009
Form 4 and Form 1 both went Pending: 04/10/2009
Form 4 Approved: 05/07/2009
Form 4 Received: 05/14/2009

As a side note, Ted was a great guy to deal with an answered my questions and didn't mind that I pestered him every few weeks. We talked guns for about 20 mins and he was never short with me (which is common these days). He said I should see my stamp around Tues next week!!

+1 SWATcop1911 & +1 Ted Clutter!

I agree with SWAT, Ted is a very polite and eager to help ATF Agent. I have spoken with him maybe a total of 3x since I sent in my forms till their approved date. Each and everytime he was helpful and took his time answering my questions. I have also had Barbara Payne as an investigator and she too was the same. It's nice to have helpful agents when you have questions or checking status.

+2 BATFE!!

My very first F4 (before they moved to WVA) was around 6 months.
