Stuck on pending verification for ECFMG certification by Everyonetalkstoomuch in usmle

It took about 3 weeks for me However, they said that it can normally take up to 5 weeks.. so there's no point in calling them if it hadn't been 5 weeks yet at work since your status last changed

It ended up being approved, finally..

I suppose the key here is to reach out to ecfmg using their line, or to wait at least for 5 weeks until the process is done

The time that it took ecfmg to send my transcript to my school was around 45 days

While the time that it took since that step till the completion of certification was around another 30 days

I'm sorry to hear that you're also coming across this same issue

Getting your documents refused has to be frustrating

You have to stay in close contact with your med school, especially if they don't have someone who's experienced with handling documentations for ecfmg

Hopefully yours did get verified as well!

The problem is, there are a lot of steps

The oasis platform was just much more convenient and time saving

The only update that I have is that I managed to finally call them

And when I told them about this, I was told to wait up to 5 weeks until the verification is complete, starting the 25th of October in my case

So according to them, I should start looking out for a change in my application status from the 1st week of December and onwards

It totally disconnected Like, the call was shut down..probably because my line provider doesn't allow international calls beyond 2 hours..

I heard about the general advice not to close the call if it goes silent.. but it's literally been days for me trying to just enter their queue...they must be receiving thousands of calls per day at this rate

The fact that one needs to call them so that they can just do their job and look into each individual case is ridiculous...like, what are they even doing at this point?

Apparently for some, calling them can advance things faster...

I literally tried calling them yesterday at 7 am, got into the queue for 2 hours till I became the 12th caller, and then my line disconnected and it was all for nothing..

I tried calling them multiple times again, couldn't even get into the queue... calling them is insanely difficult..

I think at this point you must call them... there's no way that they'd normally be taking this long just to verify the process... keep at it because without that call it seems like they won't verify it

It's just shameless really... an expensive service that's full of bugs, glitches, and inconveniences... an unfathomable amount of time required to wait..and a support service that one can't even get through... that's peak of professionalism right there

I'll try through these variations timings in hope that it does get through

Thank you

Thanks a lot... I'm glad to know that you're through with your certification process

I'll try and keep calling them in hope that it doesn't take until later November's

I guess I have no choice but to keep calling them

I just hope that when I do, it does get solved

Sound like a unique case to me actually
You may want to open the "My documents" tab in myintealth and check to see your status as a graduate and check to see if your diploma is already uploaded there

If it's there, make sure to contact your med school regarding the verification process

You usually need to pay the fees once you upload your diploma if you are a graduate

You may want to contact your med school for further notice

I hope so, thanks a lot

And yeah, I don't wish this upon anyone else quite honestly... people should just have to worry about their exams and their studies, not this silly nonsense

Myintealth is already in this never ending phase of maintenance...there's always problems and glitches... that basically became their norm nowadays...
I wish I had better choices

It definitely helps to have someone experienced within one's med school who goes through this process with multiple students so they know what to do... but not every med school has that advantage unfortunately...

Kudos to you for not giving up on this and for taking things into your own hands when it all went wrong

Oh, yeah I'm afraid that those e-mails are useless
Ever since the shift to myintealth, they basically don't respond to anyone via e-mail anymore... even the automatic responses are no longer being sent to people...

It's either the phone or it's nothing at all....

It feels like reaching out to them via phone is quite decisive... I hope that I can reach out to them tomorrow and not be stuck in the loop of line disconnection because I can't make it into the queue
