Submitted eForm1 in late October. For a "silencer."
The application went "pending research" immediately.
I've heard/seen people posting that they were approved in as little as 3 weeks, so I called a few minutes ago to check up on my application. Was on hold about 5 minutes. Very nice customer service rep told me that there's kinda/sorta 2 waiting periods. The normal case is you go in "pending research" and the current average wait period in "pending research" right now is about 90 days. Once that is over, I'll get the email with fingerprint and CLEO information. The fingerprint and CLEO portion is anticipated to take about 60 days.
So, for me, I've probably got another couple weeks (average) before I'll be out of "pending research" and finally send in my fingerprints. Then another 2 months.
Just sharing, and good luck with your own applications.
I was under the impression that "pending research" was because you decided to make up your own model name or number.Theyre lying to get you off the phone. Ive never had one take longer than 30 days with several filed since Nov 1 that look 26-27 days.
@MountainBear would beg to differ, they are absolutely brutalizing his F1 submission, probably going on 4 months right now.Theyre lying to get you off the phone. Ive never had one take longer than 30 days with several filed since Nov 1 that look 26-27 days.
That's true. Don't do that. It's a trapI was under the impression that "pending research" was because you decided to make up your own model name or number.
How so? I've done it 3-4 times now.That's true. Don't do that. It's a trap

Though, some were rather tempting.
I swear I'm surprised no ones made memes with the names on that registry.
I did not know this. Good to know moving forward.I dont do model names. There is no need to for one thing. You can have whatever you want engraved on there before or after the form is approved if you want to impress the ladies. No need to make up your own witty mode name . It is unnecessary and adds months to the process sometimes.
