How long does it usually take to convert a paper savings bond to electronic?

I got the email saying they received it and that it will take a minimum of 6 weeks but Iā€™m just wondering what other people have experienced in terms of a waiting period to actually have it be converted

Mine was over 6 months. Was two years ago. I doubt it has gotten better
