How Long forPA and is FC really taking 6-8 weeks?

We just got our DNA results over the weekend and now are waiting for PA. Anyone know how long that is taking? What about FC? We have been in 5 weeks (1 with interviews complete) is it really taking 6-8 weeks after interviews to exit? I know it depends on who your SW is and all but just trying to pass the time. Thanks

It seems to be all over the place lately and depends a lot on the SW as far as FC. It took us about 6 weeks for FC and 5 weeks to get PA.

Took us 6 weeks for SW report and just about 30 days for PA. Thankfully they are independent of each other, so you can get PA w/o SW report. At least, in our case, we got PA before we got SW report (PA 7/18, SW report 7/28)
Good luck!
