did you send them to the PO box or the market street address?
ECFMG said it may take up to 10 business days from the time they recieve the documents in order to appear on OASIS, so relax by next weeek you will be able see it on OASIS.

do not worry. it happened to me also. My usps tracking said my documents arrived and signed on Sep4th, but ECFMG only updated on sep 12 to say that documents received on sep 4th. Wait for one or two more days. If you are really nervous, then call them.

good luck!

thanks guys,i just hope they dint lose them in the flood of all these documents.
i keep thinking all the wierd stuff,maybe its just the match syndrome.i guess i'll wait till the next week and if still its the same then i'll definitely call'em up.
dr123 i sent my documets to the po box as i sent them by express mail.

thanks so much guys for ur assurance.
dr123,they have given at the bottom of lor cover sheets that if u send the documets by usps(regular mail,overnight or express)use the po box address while the market street address is for airborne,dhl,fedex and ups only(ie for a courier service)

my last lor is still pending. i've been checking oasis q2min without luck. i believe lor should have been received on sep 7th but still no updates as of today. anyone experiencing the same problem?
thanks


  #14

ok here is an example: No I'm not paid by fedex to advertize here...wink

one of my LOR writer used fedex and sent my LOR with overnight delivery on aug 29.

other writer used UPS again sent by overnight delivery on aug29.

oasis shows they received first letter(sent by fedex) on 30th and second letter(sent by UPS) on sept4th.... Though when i go to tracking system, both websites show that letter was delivered on aug 30th.

I dont know if they love fedex...???gringringrin
