Here is my short Form 4 saga.
My FFL received my Surefire "k" can from Grant on 01-24. I had all the paperwork filled out and signed and the package was sent via Priority Mail to BATFE on 01-26. Package arrived at BATFE on 01-28.
3 weeks later I received the unopened envelope back. It said wrong address. I had sent the Form 4 to the address marked on the Form 4, BATFE in Chicago. After 30 minutes of searching, I found out that the BATFE had moved it's office that approves Form 4's from Chicago to Atlanta in Dec 2006. My local FFL had old forms.
I resubmit my paperwork to the Atlanta office on 02-11 via Priority Mail, if I remember correctly it arrived on 02-13 in Atlanta. Check was cashed on 02-19.
On 03-20 (Friday) (31 days after check was cashed) I call to check the status. The Agent that I speak to tells me I have to wait 45 days
from the date the check was cashed before they can tell me anything. She told I can call back (after the 45 day period) with the serial number of the NFA item and they will be able to tell me the status of my Form 4.
When I did my Form 1 last year, from the day I sent it out to the day I received it back in my hand, was less than 30 days. I was guessing this would take about the same amount of time, I guess I was wrong.
Good luck
S/F,
Jeff
