So it's looking like Form 4's done electronically are taking about 9 months.
Has anyone recently had one approved in significantly less time?

I’m wondering if the hundred’s of thousands of free form 1’s for the braces will slow down the approval of the form 4’s. Hopefully one won’t have anything to do with the other. GARY.

OK, so yours took 369 days; over 12 months. Wow. It does sound like yours was an outlier though (and I'm glad that got resolved for you as the whole process is nerve rattling enough).
So does anyone else have any updates? I'd hate to think we've officially gone from around 9 months to over 12, but I also get the feeling there are many more forms being submitted these days so it's a possibility.
