Tyranny my friend. I've never tried it because I've never been delayed, people claim contacting your congressman may help.

He’s from mass.

 

[71montess]

eFiled 2 Form 1s, Individual on 4/26. Still waiting. eForms site says they are submitted/in process

Mine too, from late Feb or April, I think.

 

[JRT]

In practice your congressional representative should help navigate the process even if they don't believe in the right. It's worth a try, no?

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

Times are coming down, good to see.

And yet my Form 4 wait continues.

 

[HKGUY24]

Once and eForm 1 is approved, does the ATF follow up with a physical stamp? Or do I need to print off the one from the pdf?

You have to print it off on your own

One of my Efile Form 1's was going on five months. Contacting both Congressman and Senators got the same basic form letter back. Hassain and Shaheen at least responded back and did contact the ATF but with a inquiry only. The idiot Pappas never even bothered to respond. He's a useless waste of time. His staff was comprised of total morons.

I got a reply from a staffer when I contacted mine, so at least someone read it. Funny enough, the approval came about an hour after I got the reply. I can't say that they actually did anything, but the timing was mighty convenient.

Also since mine is Katherine Clark, I think it's safe to assume her office didn't do shit.

Absolutely 0% unless you're an 07 FFL, and I think you may need an SOT as well (not my area of expertise). Suppressors are illegal in Mass for the peasants.

Submitted 6/20
Denied 7/26

The good news is it didn’t take incredibly long. Bad news is they’re unforgiving to mistakes. I forgot to attach pictures of LTC.

Submitted this morning: In general, how long does it take to get your form letter for the finger print submission?


ETA: I didn't read the first email close enough and the attachments were actually included. leaving this up for the answer/context for others.

I have a disapproval from Jan 21, no refund yet. Submitted an Ask the Experts, haven’t heard back…any suggestions on recourse? Did somebody mention there’s a phone number? Found this online, will give it a try:


To ask a question about the NFA or check the status of an NFA application, please call the NFA Division at 304-616-4500 or email NFA@atf.gov.

 

[Compooky]

For those who've been disapproved, how long did it take for them to refund the $200?

I received the refund 2 days after disapproval.

 

[fa18hooker]

Got it squared away, but if anyone has an issue with a Form 1 refund in the future, the refund line is 202-648-7755.

I've said this before but I've never had tracking on the prints. Just creates super anxiety for me. I just pay basic postage and hope for the best. Its never failed and I have lots and lots of stamps

Tyranny my friend. I've never tried it because I've never been delayed, people claim contacting your congressman may help.

I've never been delayed and my Form 1 E-file a few years back took six months. They had no idea why.

Most Congress people will send an inquiry and accept the form letter the ATF sends back. Doesn't matter if it's your first or tenth. Doesn't matter if you send in four applications in the same envelope. They are all handled as it's the first one,.
