    I honestly am not sure what system the ATF uses. If I was running the system they would have all fingerprints via an electronic format and after your first form you wouldn't need to file them again.
    Sorry, I forgot about the fingerprint cards. I was just thinking about the NICS check.

    If you have a chl, all of that is on file. Now why couldn't that be used instead of CLEO signature? Oh wait that would make sense.

    How long does it take to cash a check? They cashed my buds almost immediately, I sent mine a couple days after and they still haven't cashed it. I mailed on the 8th of January

    My form 3 took 6 weeks. I hope my form 4 trust for suppressor is 4 months. My past suppressors took 9, 9 and 5 months for form 4 trust. The last returned in November.

    Form 3 that was mailed on 10/21 returned today...13 weeks to the day, probably a little wiggle room of a few days for snail mail.

    Wait times are obviously getting much better. I received my Form 1, on a trust, in 31 days. That time period included both the Christmas and New Years holidays.

    Mine is individual as well. Cashed on 12/17.

    Trying to be patient but this is like that first Christmas after you stopped believing in Santa and you already know what you're getting.

    Anyone else see the NFA update email from the ATF? I'm on my phone and don't know how to post the attachment but here's a couple of excerpts

     The authorized staffing level of 25 Legal Instrument Examiner (LIE) positions for the NFA Branch has been reached. 

    ATF continues to expend overtime for those employees processing NFA applications. 

    ATF has cross-trained and utilized LIEs from various other ATF branches to support NFA application processing. This is an ongoing process and has already beneficially impacted application processing. 

    ATF has trained and utilized 23 Industry Operations Investigators (IOIs) in the processing of NFA forms and utilized these IOIs for a 3-week period to help reduce the backlog. 

    ATF has dedicated additional data entry contract resources to continue to reduce the time it takes for an application to be entered into the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) and to keep it reduced in light of the volume of submissions.
     While eForms 3 and 4 have not yet been restored to service, there has been progress. ATF has engaged a new vendor to create a more robust platform for the processing of the eForms 3 and 4. The new platform will be designed to eliminate the issues that caused the removal of the eForms 3 and 4 from service. The new eForms will also provide enhanced functionality such as batch processing and possibly some automated approval functionality for certain forms. The vendor has recently been cleared and has already started to work with ATF in engaging the industry for system requirements on certain processes. Once the requirements have been finalized, we will begin the design and review of the new eForms platform. We hope to have eForms 3 and 4 returned to service by late 2015.
