Efiling was taking me about 3 weeks but recently it slowed down my last one was 6 weeks. I haven't had a paper form 3 since last year but they were all over the place. Had some approved in 6 weeks and others in 3 months. Also I know my distributors were having a lot of problems actually submitted eform 3s so that would add to the time. Some of them were a few weeks behind on actually submitting them.
