i am waiting for ecfmg certificate , i donot know what to do with the ERAS application as if i put NO it affect alot , and many programs wont look for it

i am really confused

[ArchivalUser]

should i apply sep 2nd or wait for certificate

[ArchivalUser]

I think as soon as you clear all your steps, you are ecfmg certified. you can mention "yes" in ecfmg certification.

[ArchivalUser]

ecfmg cert status can be updated anytime in your profile section of eras appl--once u update ur profile it will be automatically updated in the prog.. where u ve applied unless they ve printed ur docs

[ArchivalUser]

if i mention yes do u think it will be fine, or the program will figure that

[ArchivalUser]

no answer!!!

[ArchivalUser]

when did you clear your exams ? i mean step 1 & 2 CK and CS,

you do not have to wait for your ECFMG certificate, just go to "Oasis" and check which date your ECFMG certificate was issued, Oasis has the info, and mention it in your CAF, hope that clears your doubt, any other doubt, plz feel free to ask us all,

last exam results was aug 13 (CS)

AND NOT ISSUED YET

[ArchivalUser]

I mean the ecfmg certificate not issued yet , when i call them they say we request to be issued and wait 2 or 3 weeks and till now i didnot get any info on oasis

[ArchivalUser]

i am very sorry to hear that,
i would wait till at the least 17th Sep Wed, for the issuing to occur and then only apply,
all the best !
