PA taking longer???

I see that many people in PA over the summer were in and out fast...It seems like a lot of us Aug./Sept. DNA folks are still waiting on PA.

Every day I check my e-mail and...Nothing. I'm going on my fourth week now and getting a bit restless.

I'll bet your PA has probably been issued but they haven't notified you. We got ours about 2 1/2 weeks after the test was done but only found out when we emailed the embassy after 5 weeks...

If you haven't been notified, & are still waiting on it I know some people have flew to GU to sign it in person. I've been told if you sign it in person it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks off you waiting time for baby to come home.

HI.... I know how you feel. Our DNA test was done on August 24.....SWI completed 9/19 and I JUST got PA last Thursday. I waited about 47 days from the time that it was overnighted to the Embassy from LabCorp. It's ridiculous!! I hope it arrives soon!!!!

Sheila

So when a PA is approved by the embassy, are the attorneys notified and proceed with the case, or do they only find out after we (parents) have the email from the embassy?

Also, on the PAW list posted below, I did a little bit of statistical analysis, and the average wait is about 31 days; the median wait is 30 days.
