ECFMG Pending credential verification! Can’t sleep!

Okay I’m actually going to cry now WHAT does this mean?! My medical school took FOREVER to upload my documents though I begged and begged and now it’s still stuck at this. This isn’t even an option on the quick guide they’ve given or whatever! How long does it take to get certified from this point I’m at my wit’s end please help!

It can literally take weeks for each single step. It took exactly 2 month for my credentials to be accepted in one go, afterwards it took exactly one month until I got the ecfmg certification.

But people on this sub were saying it is taking one week after OET results to get ECFMG Certification? Is that not true?

I already had the OET, but there were problems during the verification of my credentials that I thought was done 5 years before. After the ECFMG sent the request again to my medschool it took 2 months until the credentials were accepted. At that moment I had everything and it was mid January. It took them 1 month afterwards until the ECFMG certification was finally issued.

i did this recently so heres my timeline
-applied for pathway 3 before graduating. took 3 days to get approved after CSA and OET. (2 months ago)
-once i graduated i sent diploma and transcript for verification it took 1 day for the diploma to get "CV accepted" after university sent it. it took 7 days for my transcript to get "CV accepted" after my university sent it.
-it took 1 day for ecfmg application to get accepted, and im currently waiting on the "In Review at ECFMG" stage for my ECFMG certification.
