I bought it first then went back later to do the paperwork and pay the tax. They are holding onto it until the paperwork comes back.

Just called the ATF for a status check on my form 4. It was approved on 1/11. Waiting for the stamp now. Here is the full timeline:
22-Apr-16 Purchase
23-Apr-16 Mail Date
2-May-16 ATF Debit Date
11-Jan-17 Approval Date
About 8.5 months of processing time.
May 2016 form 4s starting to come back now.
2x form 4's, check cleared date 10 May, received at dealer 18 Jan.
Called the NFA branch this morning and found my Form 4 was approved back 4 FEB, I am now on the final glide path. The check was cashed back on 24 MAY 16, so that is a little more than 8 months 3weeks for the process of a paper filed Trust Form 4. This unfortunately will be the last NFA item on the trust unless the new administration gets some balls and throws out rule 41F.
They should be getting back to me soon. They cashed the check already so I guess that means they are ready to send the paperwork back.
Its fun to dream.
I e-filed a form 1 in mid June, still waiting on that one.
Have a form 1 and three form 4's from June still in pending.
I thought there was a thread for NFA wait times but I can't find it. Please forgive me if this turns out to be a dup.

Damn I'm so close. I called today on a 6-6 and was told we are only in the middle of May you have a while.
Form 4 sent in last Wed, check cashed today. I am thinking Dec if not Jan.
Mailed form four ( transfer from individual to dealer in CO) Aug 4, 2016,
check cashed Aug 11,
paperwork back to original owner Feb 15, 2017,
at my dealer Feb 20, 2017. Just a little over 6 months, surprised me.
Now to start all over so I can have it.
Suspect it will take longer on this submission.
ATF received form 4, 3/1/17
Check cashed 3/3/17
Are they taking their time on these for a reason? Has anyone asked?
What's it look like for Form 1's? Most posts are for F4. I've seen F1's be approved sooner than F4.
This is an example of what Hoser is talking about...

Also after 41F went into effect there was a surge of applications because of the no law enforcement sign-off needed.
Damn they have a huge footprint in the nfa market! They must have made millions in a few days!
So much paperwork! If the person running the check was as quick as the guy cashing the checks. I would have my form 4 back within a month.
Truth!
My buddy submitted 2 form 1's prior to 41f.
Submitted June 14th, approved on January 25th.
Second was submitted June 28th and nothing yet.
Im intrigued to see how much time that 2 week difference added to his wait time.
I have eform 1 submitted on 6/30 still no word...
Form 4 paper trust submitted 5/19/16...Received approval and picked up suppressor today 2/27/17
Form 1 trust, efile, submitted on 6/25/16, approved 3/1/17
On the eforms web site. When you log in it will also show/ be moved to APPROVED not PENDING. One does not always receive en email notification. I had to do an Ask the experts which resulted in paperwork sent within a 2 hr window.
Check Cashed on 6-28-16. Form 4 trust. Hoping I get that call from Ark real soon. This also means i better get going on ordering 4 dead air brakes.
