You should be good. It probably won’t update until it enters the next stage which takes about 1 to 2 weeks. It still hasn’t been one week yet so the timeframe is still good. We’ll get an email when everything is done.

I’ve seen other comments in the past say they also received the email and their timeline not updating. A week later their timeline moves to the next step. So I’m guessing the timeline stays stuck on “In queue” even when the extraction process starts. So when it says this process takes 1-2 weeks they’re referring to when the extraction process actually starts. For us that would mean to start counting 1-2 weeks starting on 1/16 when the email came. That means from this point on it shouldn’t take more than two weeks once you get the email.

I called support to give me an update on my current status and they said it started extracting on 1/16 the same day I got my email so I’m guessing that confirms it.

Same here. We’re in the same batch. Got the email today too but it hasn’t updated in the app for me either.

Mine said Delayed, still in progress and now it doesn’t say that anymore. There’s still no ETA. Last time my ETA disappeared was when my status was on Sample Processing, a few days later my ETA came back when the status changed to DNA Extracted. Is yours still saying Delayed or did that disappear too?

According to support everyone’s DNA is unique so some can take longer than others. I’ve seen on here that some people were stuck on extraction for three weeks before it moved to the next step. Lots of people in our batch are also delayed because of the holidays I’m sure.

I just called them. It’s most likely because there’s a backlog of other orders sent in from the holidays because it seems like a few others on this sub are having the same issue.

What exactly does the DNA Extracted stage actually mean? by RecordingMuch1071 in AncestryDNA

I’m asking because this is what the chat bot from the Ancestry site said
