OK.........so EXACTLY 2 weeks ago I sent in my ERAS documents, including a photo, transcripts, 2 LORs.

The ERAS website never updated claiming that my documents had been received and/or processed.

This past MONDAY I sent another file, containing my REMAINING LORs. This packet was updated today claiming it was received and being processed.

So PACKET A sent two weeks ago never updated, and it contained the bulk of my information (photo, transcripts, 2 LORs)

PACKET B was sent this past Monday, and already posted on ERAS website as being received.


Does this mean they lost PACKET A sad ? Or is it taking longer because of the bulk info. it contains ?

I cant call ECFMG/ERAS until Monday to find out........can somebody please advise ? What sucks is that PACKET A contains an original LOR that I only have a copy of, and will be unable to get another original.

Am I in trouble ? shaking head

The most likely explaination is that ECFMG did not recieved the first packet due to postal dealys or the packet is lost in post. The oasis usually gets updated within 2-3 days of recieving the packet, regardless the number of documents in it.

Sometimes ECFMG can take longer than 2-3 days to update as well. My LOR was updated after 5 days of recieving, but the packet sent by me was updated on next day.

hey holy man can you give your opinion on the following


Ecfmg says 'Received the eras document packet". But how would we know if they have scanned and uploaded our LOR?

LOR is scanned along with the other documents. So if ther documents show up in ADTS, lor is also scanned, but will be uploaded to the post office after you apply.

Alternatively you can see the date they recieved the packet and check on ecfmg eras page if documents for that date have been scanned. Today they are scanning documents recieved on 17th.
