"Within 10 business days of submission of the referenced eForm application, the applicant must submit
two completed fingerprint cards to the ATF address shown above. A copy of this cover letter MUST be
submitted with the fingerprint cards:"

Once the eForm gets to "submitted", the cover letter should have the "Control Number" field populated. When I filled mine out, mine went to research so I didnt get the cover letter and I found the instructions to retrieve a missing cover letter I linked before. I could retrieve the cover letter, but there was no control number in it. 2 days later it went from "research" to "submitted" and then the control number became populated and I printed and mailed it.

I got the email with the control number but it had no address as to where to mail the prints. That’s why I was waiting on the “cover letter”. Nice to know I just pissed away $200 to our corrupt and traitorous government for nothing. Because it’s been way longer than 10 days.

I wonder why they are different?
There's a barcode above this with the control number, and the rest of the info below...but this is what my cover letter says.

Finally did the Form 1 for SBR on Monday (8/2) and it went in to "research" because of the markings. Got moved from "research" to "Submitted" yesterday (8/4) so I mailed off my stuff today (8/5).

Prints got delivered today...so I guess now the official wait starts.

8/2/2021 - Filled out, went to"Research"
8/4/2021 - Transitioned to "Submitted"
8/5/2021 - Mailed cover letter and prints

Well now I know what the deal is. I screwed myself. I got these emails on my iPhone. For whatever reason it doesn’t show the cover letter but does on my MAC. All my other emails always show everything. So I just wasted two months waiting and $200. Thanks to this BS system where we have to pay and beg for permission to exercise a supposed right.
