Have you received the tax stamp yet?
I got approved same day 9/30. Still waiting the call form dealer:(If this helps, while waiting for my approved stamp to get to my dealer, I compiled this:

F4T Range = 10 Days to 35 Days
F4T Mode = 21 Days
F4T Median = 21 Days
F4T Mean = 30.13 DaysI looked at the cvs file. Its full of omissions, and errors users have entered.
Like hundreds have no dates at all. Other fields state F4 individual in transferee type then Form 3, Form 1 or Suppressor and other entries in FormType. Some entries have same dates all way across, from Purchase to StampRecieved.
Garbage in, garbage outForm 4 individual e-file, check cashed 4/3/20. ATF simply says, “it’s in process.” Won’t give me the contact info for the agent processing my request. How do I get that info so I can contact them directly? Thanks!
It may not have made it to an examiner yet. Some forms take longer than others. The fact that some people get approved in 5 months definitely does not mean yours should. It can still take up to a year.
@mochoolp : General guidance is to wait at least 30 days before sending a signed letter to the NFA Branch (current address is 244 Needy Rd, Martinsburg, WV 25405) or sending a scan of the signed letter to NFAFax@atf.gov.
Be sure to include your name, address, clear details around the request (requesting copy, stamp never received, exact transferee name, the associated serial #), and be sure to sign the letter (with a signature block for your trust/corp if applicable).

It’s way too soon to start checking in on the status. They won’t give you any useful information anyway. My last Form 4 took almost a year for them to approve it and I’m still waiting on the stamp to arrive at my dealer. My Form 4 prior to that only took 2.5 months…go figure.
Is transfer tracking database down? I can not access the page.
“Sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.”looks that way yes. should be back up and running soon. They’re pretty good here about fixing issues within a day or two
36 days after approval; dealer stated they still do not have the stamp. Telephoned NFA(ATF). They suggested writing and sign a letter to them and they will mail me a cerified copy of the tax stamp.
Its sad that there is a problem somewhere unkown with getting a stamp after approval.And here I am, mailed in March, cashed in May, and still pending. They must have zero order to their process. Or some awesome examiners, and some terrible ones.

Mine was cashed in April and they still have me as “pending”. I’m seeing approvals for F4 individual and trust consistently from May, June, and July. You would think there should be some kind of queue or order for this but it seems it is always left to chance.
ATF told me 7 months was the average right now (even though all the trackers show the recent averages trending as less). I finally gave in and sent emails to my congressmen to start looking into it. Hoping this lights a fire under them and I get the approval before Christmas….

Purchased 10/28/2019
Cash checked-?????
Pending-?????
Approval?????Bought the can 10/28/2019. Never ran card for payment. Shop I got it from said they put their own card down and they ran that but not for sure on that. Called the ATF and they don’t know who I am or don’t have record for the suppressor when I gave them the serial number other than the original transfer to the shop. Told the shop and they said “ the fbi had problems with the fingerprints but it should be approved soon”. 388 days and counting. Any ideas?

I’d be at that shop hounding the snot out of them every day til they give you answers, and proof that they actually submitted a form 4 for you.
Submitted Form 4 on 14Oct20. Check cleared on 26Oct20. Still not listed in system to check status as of 7Dec20.
I have 6 transfers currently in progress dating back to 13Mar20. I usually wouldn’t think twice about transfers until the 10-month point, but the transfer trends have me hoping that at least one of my transfers will fall in the average window.
Also there with you.
card charged May 22, still pending.
card charged Oct 22, still not even in system yet.
At exactly 4 weeks, I was told there is roughly a 4 week back-log for them being entered into the system. But it’s been 6-7 weeks now, and still not there. At least I know I’m not the only one. I was starting to worry there was a typo somewhere or something that might cause me issues.Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if something is happening behind the scenes with ATF and Biden’s sheep.
My form 4 that was cashed in October is finally in the system. And the one cashed in May is still pending. Crossing my fingers they batch approve them before the end of the year, or in the very least before Biden puts on his crown and has leverage with ATF
