The trip isn't contingent on the dealer having the approved form. It would be planned around the approval. Since weekends are the most convenient time for me to travel, if I find out on a Thursday or Friday that's it's been approved, I can try to plan to travel on Saturday.
As giddy as I am about receiving these items, if he were to contact me on a Monday saying he had my stamp, it would be a rough week. Lol.
Unless the tax stamp is in the hand of your dealer no transfer can take place.
My FFL received the stamp over two weeks from the approved date, the stamp is the receipt for the tax.
