hey guys , how long does it take for a form 4 to go in the system? my dealer tells me he sent the form 4 in late November but when I call the ATF status line, and give them the S/N they tell me there is no transfer in the system. ATF told me it could take 8 weeks or so after the check is cashed to show up in their system .  dealer tells me he had some checks clear December 10th or so. just wanting to know if this sounds right

Most people count from the check cashed date, and it's still in the 4-5 month range for approval.

If the form was sent in late November and hasn't appeared in the system, there's a problem.  As in lost.

The golden rule! Use a USPS flat rate mailer that comes with tracking so you KNOW when it hits Atlanta. My checks have always been cashed within two days after arriving.

My November and December Form 4s were going showing in the system 4-5 days after checks were cashed. More recent ones have been 1-1/2 to 2 weeks before they could see them in the system. They always told me the "6-8 weeks" but I guess I've been lucky so far.

What number are you calling to get status updates?
BATFE/W.Va. phone numbers:

I've got a form 4 sent in late Sept, and the check was cashed Oct 10, but past that, I have been trapped in silence.  Dealer says "be patient", but I'd like some info from the source!
