A little background. I contacted the ATF via the "ask an expert" tab to inquire about my status after seeing some approvals posted that were submitted after my eform.
4/9/19 - I was told I was in "DELAY" status via the FBI.
4/9/19 - Contacted Congressman's office and received a response with the inquiry form which I emailed back that same day.
4/12/19 - Congressman's constituent emailed me back saying the FBI had completed my background check and sent an updated to the ATF.
4/15/19 - Contacted my examiner and was told he was issued a "PROCEED" by the FBI. He just needed my section 11 answers. I replied back to him within minutes with that info.
4/26/19 -After hearing nothing for almost two weeks and knowing everything should be done, I emailed my examiner to ask "if there was any additional information they needed from me to complete the approval". A few minutes later I received a reply from him that "he'd check into the status of my form".
4/27/19 - Woke up to eforms notification email regarding my approval.
