5320.20 timeframes?

[T.Lex]

I sent in a couple 5320.20 forms at the end of August and still haven't heard back. I saw that the BATFE lets you email those in, so I jumped headlong into the late 1990s and did that this time.

Any idea how long us "usual" for these and whether it is better to just mail them?

Thx.

My last ones were 6-weeks (ish), that was in late spring.

Ah - ok. So I'm still inside the benchmark.

Did you send snail mail or email?

I sent one in over the summer. It came back in about 4 weeks, via snail mail.

They seem to be taking longer than normal. Mine took like 2 months (at least the one I actually got back)

So, the magic of INGO strikes again. I posted this thread last week, and the forms arrive by snail mail a couple days after.

FYI - I scanned and emailed 2 different 5320.20s (2 different places) with just one pdf for each to nfafax[at]atf.gov and it worked. Took about 54 days for the hard copies to arrive.
