Got a dissapproval today.

[Wombat of Doom]

It gave absolutely no reason and when I called, I was told to ask the experts, which I did. How long does it take to hear back from them? This is more than a little annoying. I suspect it is an issue with a payment card as I got a delay and the payment went through, 3 days after I filed.

Any thoughts?

What form of disapproval did you get? A Form 1 signed with a rejection? An email?

 

[AlaskinAssasin]

Which form?

 

[Wombat of Doom]

form 1. It said to see attached sheet for reason. There was no attached sheet.

 

[Kruel J]

Did you efile?

Stupid. Especially considering how many times you were already approved.

That's the number 1 thing that pisses me off about the whole process. Submit 1 or 10, at once or over the coarse of years. Each one is treated as if you became a criminal after the last submission.

Imagine a system that checked if you have been approved recently and it has multiple forms in play and they just did them all at once!

If efile it could be any number of reasons. Yeah, don't expect a good response. Save your forms early and often, and triple check them with a magnifying glass.

 

[Wombat of Doom]

Did you efile?

Yes. And I have what is damn near a clone of what I was wanting to build, already.

What are you building?

Was it something like this? This was at the end of the PDF on my disapproved eForm1 last year.



And what caused this was the lack of them sending the coverletter that I was supposed to print and send in with my fingerprint cards. So I called them, they told me to contact the "Ask the Experts", who never responded to me, so I ended up just re-submitting the application again and all was good thereafter.

Remember this: It's the government.

I used fingerprint forms and an inkpad I bought off Amazon. Worked perfectly.

In my experience, pretty fast by .gov standards. As like within a business day. Though, granted, I haven't used it much.

Agreed. It is insanely stupid from stem to stern.

Same. For both NFA items and FFL related things. Zero problems thus far. (Knock on wood.)

Oh same here, issue wasn't the fingerprint cards, it was the lack of them generating the required coverletter to send with the cards.

Gotcha. Like you said.....it's .gov.

The crappy part is that they'll take their sweet time refunding your money. I think it's like 90 days or something stupid like that.

Nope. It says see attached sheet and there isn't one.

On different NFA forum, I've seen refund times take way long than that as well.
