No, I'm not up to speed on their staffing (every agency is different) but multiple distributors have posted notices about delays. Here is RSR's:
NFA Processing Update: As the result of the government shutdown, RSR is currently experiencing delays in NFA transfer approvals. We will continue to submit transfer applications for newly submitted orders via eForms, but due to the uncertainty related to the end of the shutdown, we are unable to provide estimated dates for approvals. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
DOJ is working in a non-pay status. The check portion of your application is processed by Bank of America under contract (that's who cashed your check/card), then your application is sent to the NFA people. That's where the delay is expected.
