guys,

I am really concerned about my documents. They reached ERAS on Sep 5th, but they haven't been uploaded by the ERAS Post Office yet. So far, the only things that the Post Office has uploaded are:
Common Application Form
ECFMG Status Report
Personal Statement 1
Profile
USMLE Transcript
Is there anyone else in this situation? what can be done about it?
thanks!

wait for at least 5 days..documents received on 31st are the ones which are being scanned,,,relax for 5 days and then see if you need to get concerned.Before becoming concerned check this website -
http://www.ecfmg.org/eras/index.html
have a look at the top of the page where u will find useful information.

I've been waiting now for more than 5 business days and still nothing. That was exactly the point of my asking if there is anyone else in this situation (i.e., waiting for more than 5 business days). And thanks, laptop, I've been checking regularly that website for a while now.

I called ECFMG to find out how much longer it will take until they get to documents received on Sep 5th; they said the next day to be scanned after Sep 1st will be Sep 5th, but usually they receive 5 times more documents on a Monday than any other day, and after a holiday it is even worse. So they anticipate Sep 5th will be uploaded by Sep 19th or 20th.

it takes 10 buisness days. 5 to upload of oasis and 5 afterwards to transmit to eras. according to ECFMG they are scanning documents received on september 1. I think yours will be loaded on Monday.
