How long will it be "assigned to an examiner " before its approved? Seems as though it would be approved very soon after being assigned?
My last paper form spent 12.5 months NOT being assigned to an examiner (the last time I called). I was polite, but she could tell I was a bit frustrated with it taking so long, since I've had so many others approved prior to, and they kept spewing the official narrative of "currently 8 months average" and I was at 12.5. The lady was very polite, and told me to call back in 2 weeks, and that it should be approved by then. So, I called back 2 weeks later (13 months on the dot) and she said, "Oh wow, it was just approved this morning..."
Yeah, how ironic! You told me exactly when it was going to be approved, and POOF, it was... Something seemed fishy about that shit.
Oh happy day, it only took 13 months to get approved for something I KNOW that I'm legally allowed to own, and then another 2 weeks to get the stamp to my dealer via snail-mail before I could pick it up.
At least all 5 of my paper form cans are home now, and I get alerted when my eForm gets approved, so I don't have to worry about calling them unless things get excessive.
My OCL Hydrogen-S (eForm 4, SS Trust) is now officially at 66 days and counting...
