[Canndo]

Congrats, throw your info onto The NFA tracker.

Thanks. I'll probably do that today. The wait begins

 

[soam]

Just called NFA branch to get my status on my Form 1 (paper form) I sent in August. It went Pending October 21st, and the person I called said it should go through some time in July. Joy!

 

[Parker Duofold]

Eleven months...
I submitted a paper form in December. Maybe by Thanksgiving I'll have something in hand. [sad2]

 

[jhagberg88]

im getting ready to submit another form 1 through eforms, hopefully the 3 month wait is still the case.

If this trend continues to hold (13 weeks), my stamp should be in either the first or second week of April.

Got this email. Eform issues.

Good Morning:

Pardon this Interruption!!!


ATF eForms has been experiencing some severe performance issues for the past week. Some of the symptoms the users are experiencing include slow response times, inability to finalize and submit forms, pay.gov screen not displaying, inability to view PDF’s, and the system abruptly returning the user back to the home screen. While some users report that they are able to successfully submit forms, others are reporting that they are not.

While our technology staff has been actively engaged in trying to resolve the issues, up to this point our efforts have not been successful. We apologize for your inconvenience and your frustration.

We are hoping that we will be able to bring the eForms system back to its full operating capacity soon. Once the operations have been restored and you find that you have form 1’s and form 4’s in your draft account that you cannot get submitted and you have paid your tax using pay.gov, please notify us using “Ask the Experts – NFA” and include the confirmation information that you received from pay.gov (that includes the Pay.gov Tracking ID). Refunds are normally processed within 10 business day.

We are not taking this lightly. We assure you that we are doing all that can be done to come to resolve the issues. We request your patience and understanding while we work this out.

Thank you.

Same. When I submitted mine Jan 3rd the whole thing was really slow, but I was patient and it worked.

 

[Canndo]

Yeah. I'm lucky I got it in when I did!

 

[atilla]

Eform issues.

 

[vellnueve]

hate you now, too. [sad2]

what are you makin'?

Sticking an AAC 9" 300 BLK upper on one of the YHM NES lowers. Being stationed in a free state is awesome.

Just need to save the money for the upper now...

For the record, my 9/20 SBR came back 12/26. I also have a PS90 eForm 1 that I submitted a few weeks back should be back in May or so.

It's slow because healthcare.gov borrowed all the IT specialists

 

[jhagberg88]

Just need an optic and I'm all set.

 

[vellnueve]

3 e-Form 4s submitted just after the end of the shutdown have been approved, just haven't had time to pick them up.

 

[JackO]

What is the actual way of processing a tax stamp payment while doing eForms? Is it scanned image of the check, or maybe giving the ABA number and account number for electronic withdrawal? Or maybe they take credit card payment?

Credit card

 

[JackO]

Thank you.

 

[Canndo]

Thank you.

NP. They use Pay.gov and you pay at the end. Just a heads up, the whole e-form site has been plagued with performance issues as of late. I wish you luck.
