How long to transfer ISA?

How long would you expect it to take to transfer a cash ISA? It's been 3 weeks since I filled out the form at the Halifax to transfer my NatWest eISA to them. My eISA has disappeared from my NatWest online banking but nothing has appeared at the Halifax.

    Mine took 6 weeks.
    Generally the money "dissapears" for about a week whilst the cheque is literally "in the post".
    Many organisations insist they have send a cheque along with the ISA paperwork and it is often posted 2nd class.
    However due to the Halifax ISA promise you will get double interest.
    So lets say it takes 4 weeks in total, then you will receive interest from both institutions for 3 of those 4 weeks.
    So you should still be up on the deal.
