that basicall depends on ecfmg. you can actually check the documents that are being scanned on the basis of the dates they were received by ecfmg. you need to login to oasis for that. but i would assume would probably be 2-3 weeks............not 100% sure though...........

i hink you should still apply...........because most of the programs only start downloading apps after 2-3 weeks................meanwhile the scanned docs lie in the eras postoffice..............so if your docs do get scanned in time they will just be added to your file..............

look at it this way...........considerin the circumstances this is probably the BEST option.............if u delay and apply late the programs wont have any file for u at all............this way at least they will have all your info and the remainin lor can be added as soon as its uploaded...........delayin the app is not a good idea at all.......dats wot ive been told by zillions of ppl so far...........although..........applyin even by the end of the first week isnt so bad apparently...........its a tuff decision i guess............but thats my opinon.......dont delay it too much..............can wait to see wot bbb says though............g'luk

You don't even need to log-in to oasis, just go to www.ecfmg.org and click on 'ERAS-the Electronic Residency Application Service' on the left side, and it will tell you what date they are scanning...
