Hey all, just checked my license progress this morning and happy to say that my Cat A, B and probationary Cat H all have been changed to..
"NEW APP REFERRED TO SERVICE NSW FOR ISSUE-NOT AUTHORISED FOR FIREARMS"

Applied for Cat H: 25 Nov.
Applied for Cat A B: 9 Dec
Happy Days

Congrats mate. Hopefully that means they are now into December applications

Hey everyone, a few weeks back I was going over my application and sent an email to the FAR to fix up a small error on my address. They replied and said that they’ve attached my email to my application. Does anyone know if this change will delay my application or push it to the back?

I can’t imagine it would make a difference. When I spoke to them they say they are doing them in order of date received. Your date shouldn’t change. But weirder things have happened.

It looks like they have started on early December or at least very late November.

The graph shows there weren’t as many applications in December so in a perfect world December should be quicker to process.

[Fulcrum]

Thanks mate. By the looks of things, some applications are being processed out of order. Who knows the mysterious ways in Which they work

Wondering where I could find these graphs ? I applied 06/03 and am obsessed with trying to estimate the most perfect scenario hahahah (hoping for 4 months without the 6wk PTA)

Awesome. Thanks.

I was really convinced that there would have been a good spike in applications in december. Im very glad this is not the case, lol.

Hope im approved by the end of June.

Based on the current average I would be guessing around the 14th or July (130 days) until you get to the referred to services NSW status.

Hopefully. Id definitely be happy with that.

just submitted my application through service NSW and they rejected me because they're busy processing other requests. youve got to be s**ting me, its a glorified email the pricks dont even check it for another month after i send it.

[AussieCapitalist]

What do you mean rejected? Rejected your application for a firearm because they are busy? That isn't legal.

went through on the second try. licence in 1 year here we come

[themarksman]

I know if one person still waiting from March 2019 and one from 14 Oct. Getting no answers from the NSWFR. It really is just a luck of the draw waiting game

Yikes. Do they have any past/present court battles or bad records?

Damn I feel sorry for them, even though my app got accepted, I wonder how long til things start opening back up. Weird times.

[themarksman]

Not sure. But apparently they are calling regularly and not getting any answers as to why it’s taking so long.

[AussieCapitalist]

You lads should move up north. From application to email approval took only 80640 minutes for mine. You guys have such a bigger population with a similar level of firearm ownership so you would think your public service would be quicker. Has it gotten slower over the years or it has always been this slow?

[Fulcrum]

Not sure. But apparently they are calling regularly and not getting any answers as to why it’s taking so long.

Even if they have had a mental illness from a while back e.g anxiety or depression, the FAR might delay or reject their applications.

Yeah possibly. Communication isn’t their strong point.

I am going to wait until the weekend website update and then email them again to find out where they are up to.

[Fulcrum]

Awesome. I’m sure you’ll get the status update this weekend or the next.

[Cmr83]

Does anyone know what month they are up to

[Hammar]

Does anyone know what month they are up to

I'd imagine they are around mid-November. A family member finally had their licence approved 1.5 weeks ago and they applied 11th November

[themarksman]

Definitely not the 16th of December. Another Saturday passes. 130 days and still waiting.

[Fulcrum]

They’ve had a spike in pta applications. Maybe that’s why they’ve slowed down. I was sure they were in December by now.

[Greenpyr]

I submitted my application 11th December and my status has just changed to referred to services. Happy days.

Nice! Congrats.

I have just emailed the firearms registry to find out their current progress. Will let everyone know when I hear back from them.

I am close to just giving it all up and stick to bow hunting and mountain biking. Cheaper to buy a new bike and less hassle. Argh.

[Jon79]

bugger... my daughters due to have to change from her minors to adult license in the first week of July, don't suppose she can do the safety course and submit the paper work before her 18th birthday

Thanks mate. Hopefully they’re at least in mid December. The suspense is getting crazy...
