Just curious as I can't remember from prior approvals, but is there a standard time of the day that people are getting their NFA approval emails? As I'm sitting at 204, 155 & 54 days on my 3 cans, I'm wondering if the emails only come in first thing in the morning or if they can come in any time of the day. I know I should just forget about them, but at this point it's not easy to do. So, if I get nothing early morning, should I just forget about it for the day, or if any time emails come into my account any time during the day should I wonder if it's THE email?  Getting irritating.

All hours of the day, including weekends and holidays in the past.

That’s what I was worried about. This waiting game sucks for us non-fast approval people. I was good for about the first 160 days or so on my oldest one, but this last month or so has been torture…

Yep. 0700 on a Saturday morning for one of mine.

ATF Examiners can telework from home and have unlimited overtime, so you approval can come at any hour.   The r/NFA Reddit used to have a really cool dashboard that you could click and sort data that users had reported their approvals, including day of the week and time of the day.  

Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore.

All 3 Approved now. One came in 6/19/24 and two on 6/20/24. All 3 emails received early, around 8am or so.

All of my form 4’s have been early morning, between 7-9:30 am

I've had a lot of mine come in in the afternoon or evening.

Basically they can get approved on any day at any time.
