Organizations and bureaucracies quickly adapted to doing less work in more time and more pay.gov shutdown and COVID
Advertised by who?USCS Submitted 03/25/2022, nothing yet. In fairness, I’m not passed the 90 days that has been advertised.
Over the last four years the average processing time for paper Form 4's has never fallen lower than seven months. The last time ATF updated processing time was 9/30/2021..... https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/current-processing-timesFor me, paper form 4s were taking about 5 months.
I think he is pulling your leg.FrankenMauser I am waiting to certify. Got the email after hours on Friday. I forgot to call the FFL on Saturday. Now I have to wait until Tuesday.
He says the average eF4 is coming back in 10-14 days for his shop. The quickest was 8 days from certification. The longest was about 45 days.
But I plan on it taking a year. Because this item is cursed and nothing has gone well or moved quickly.
1. The ATF said 90 days in their publicity for eforms, I consider that advertising.Advertised by who?
ATF stated that 90 days was their target for eForm 4 processing. It wasn't a promise, an estimate or even a wild assed guess. It's what they hope to eventually get to. The internet read "Our target is 90 day approvals" as "we'll approve your eForm 4 in 90 days". Thats just a dumb assumption.
"Under promise, over deliver" is never a bad mantra. ATF, Silencer Shop and every FFL/SOT needs to remember that.

ATF is required to update and publish those processing times every ninety days. Interesting they have not done so IN NINE MONTHS.
I suspect the reason is processing of paper Form 4's has exceeded 12 months and they are embarrassed.
No, they didn't say that at all. ATF clearly said "the NFA is committed to our processing goal of 90 days.." in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMI9Hx3pLAM&t=1775s Exact statement at 29:35USCS

It's a goal, a target, an objective they hop to reach.....not at all a promise or guarantee.
That you think ATF is "advertising" is hysterical.
We will find out.I think he is pulling your leg.
I've had one eForm 4 approved in less than two weeks, but it was expedited for a member of the military.
I currently have over a hundred pending eForms that are older than 120 days.
Do you think a particular line of text in a book is advertising?USCS If they put it on YouTube, That sure seems to fit the dictionary definition of advertise.
