Ouch.Not my longest, but;
submitted F4 on 11-20-2020
approved 07-10-2021, AFT "lost" orig form, had to order certified copies,
finally got the cert copy 11-19-21.
Mine just took about 11 months. January to December.Anyone else have a Form 4 that is taking forever? Mine has been in the pipes since last March 24.

Mike,
The ATF on line F1 efile website is currently down, I have been getting ATF emails on updates since I have completed several F1 efiles. F1 efile is set to resume 12-23-21 @ 0600. Form 4 efile is also to resume very soon, after this complete ATF overhaul/new software install. F4 e-file was suspended in 2015. So the fingerprint kiosks and e-file mechanism should spring back up soon at brick and mortar Class 3 dealers. My first paper F4 was submitted/mailed 12-3-20 and approved in just < 7 months. Guess I got lucky.
Yep people who get delayed on a 4473 are taking longer from what I am seeing. My coworker is waiting on a Form 1 for like 5 plus months for the same reason. He emailed Clutter and got in touch with a examiner and this was explained to him.if your application gets pulled for FBI review, you can expect 12+ month wait. mine took ~14.
I just registered for the new eForms website. It feels ... odd. Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy.I expect the Eform4 website to rollout like the ObamaCare website did. Years to develop, untold millions, cant even process simple data fields.
Yup, my check was cashed end of February. A lot of folks are getting them back and they were in March. Slightly disappointing but not completely unexpected. I think the trend when I got it was about 7 months but maybe there are more being bought with all that *free* government money.Anyone else have a Form 4 that is taking forever?

Man, I hope they get better for everyones sake.Bought my last can on March 13, 2021. Tax stamp check was cashed on March 24, 2021. BATF approved my application on March 7, 2022.
So yeah, 357 days from purchase to approval.
