I transferred my data to FTDNA through the 3rd party transfer process. It says that I am Batch 2. What does this mean?

Orders placed at FTDNA get batched up for the lab on a weekly basis and get assigned a batch number.
However, no lab testing is done for autosomal transfers. Your original company did the lab testing, and FTDNA will be re-processing those results from the raw data file that you uploaded.
FTDNA's system still expects a batch number for every order, so all autosomal transfers are placed into Batch 2 rather than the current weekly batch number.

I transferred my 23andMe data on 6/7 and emailed FTDNA a couple days later to ask about an ETA on results, and here's their response:
Thank you for your email. It has been taking about four to six weeks to get all of the raw data uploaded and then to clear the quality control measures and finally run and compare against the database and upload results. You will receive an email notification when all of the results are uploaded. The lab and IT department have been working on stream lining this process, so it may be quicker than that.

Just got a expected date of 8/28/2013 for Autosomal DNA Transfer that was transfered on 6/7/2013.
Wow! So its going to take two times longer than what 23andme did to run the test?

Normally, FTDNA charges $99 to transfer the data. ( i.e. the same price as the full 23andme test.)
BTW, some people waited over 6 months to get their 23andme raw data transferred to FTDNA when it was first offered.
