Good morning friends I will tell you my story with my credentials verification till now! as i'm 2010 graduate my diploma was issued at june this year, I sent my papers to ECFMG at 4th of July to be verified, they told me they need 6-8 weeks to be sent to my med school. after a long waiting i called them maybe twice and every time they reassured me that your papers are complete and we are processing them. after 10 weeks of waiting i called them again, what the hell you are doing with them??? they said ok your papers lack the original language copy, send it to us!! well and why you didn't say that to me previously when i asked you several time about my papers!! i sent them mine and they siad medical credentials sent to your school in 8th of September to be verified. in my school the secretery told me that the papers used to reach in 21 days, but today is the 26 day and nothing in my medical school and they said we didn't receive any thing till now!! given that some friends whom their credentials sent after mine have already reached!! I dout that my papers are lost! I wonder what should i do now!! i feel that i will lose the match by this stupid routine work! is there any thing you can help me by friends??? i'm really so worrid and i don't know what to do! I will sue ECFMG if i lost the match due to this!! OMG so depressed

My friend they send it by snail mail so it takes more than a month to arrive. Mine for instance was sent on 19th August and it arrived on 25th september. And am talking about South America which isnt really far from North America. So u shd factor in your continent and competence of the post in your xtry when it gets there. What u could have done was to open a fedex account/DHL account whereby ECFMG was going to use your money to send it fastrack. if I went back in time that is an error I would have corrected. And also I think in this process u aldo committed a very serious mistake that delayed everything. It is spelt out in the booklet that u have to send translation. I dont understand how u miss that. U cant blame them for keeping long to tell u, u also made a fundamental mistake. And I think u shd now concentrate on your school. U cant control the POST.Make sure that they do the right thing when it gets there(even ticking boxes they are supposed to). And make an arrangement so that they send it by fasttrack or DHL. If your documents get to ECFMG and there is a problem with something your school did...after like 2-4 weeks, they will resend it back to your school and it is gonna take longer. And bear in mind that even if your school sends it and it gets there...the verification by ECFMG can go as far as 8 weeks. (2 to 8 weeks). And I hope you have made arrangements for your school to send a translated transcript???? Good Luck(I need it too).

Thank you so much truemamamia i read that in the booklet but what made me miss that is my school issued the diploma in english and i don't need to translate it. so i thought it is enough to send it alone. i blame them as i called them two times and they told me that your papers are complete, they just notify me about the issue after 10 weeks of receiving my documents in my school i arranged with the secretarey to give me the package and i will send it by myself. do they need the original transcript in addition to the english one???????????/ --- if it didnt reached in the couple of upcoming days, i will call ecfmg to send them again by DHL using my aacount,, hope it will short the duration! something really frustrating specially that i was thinking in doing Step3, but now i think it will be so difficult as it needs to me at least another two months to be certified! Good luck too my friend Edited by telfah on Oct 04, 2010 - 12:32 PM

1. I dont think they will even mind u if u tell them to send it again with DHL. U could try though and get back to us on this issue. But my understanding is that they resend it only if 3 months has passed since they sent it out. 2. Just be careful with whichever arrangement u make with your secretary. Hopefully u will send with an official envelope and I hope u wont make a mistake of registering yourself as the sender of the package. If at any point ECFMG determines that your school didnt send it directly, they will reject it. Just play smart 3.Yes they need the original transcript plus the translation. Whenever u send the translation for something, you always have to send the original. Unless the transcript is entirely in english and there is no suggestion that it is a translation I think the most important thing is for your school to just follow the instructions in doing their part....(I hope mine did) Well lets be optimistic
