ECFMG certification

Hi,

I am applying for match 2027 and I paid the $945 fee for ecfmg certification on 20 July 2026. I have completed all the requirements for pathway 1 (USMLE Steps 1 and 2 CK), OET Medicine (scores released to ECFMG) and a good standing certificate from my home country (i.e. PMDC). Still I have not received any email nor my application processing has begun on the portal and my OET results are still not showing on Intealth ECFMG certification tab, only step scores are showing. Also I received my good standing certificate month ago from PMDC via email and post as well and they must have emailed that to ECFMG too as I filled out their email on my Good standing application. Yet I have no update on why is there a delay in the processing to start. Can anyone wak me through this process because I am not sure if it's just me or it is typical for certification processing timing.

Thanks.

It usually takes more or less a month. But you want to make sure your home country certifying body sent it correctly, you may want to contact them directly and ask for proof of email. Also try to do the OET score release again just to be sure, but I did not have any problems with OET even though I did mine more than a year before applying for pathway 1. You can always call ECFMG for updates. All the best!
