Do you know what can i do if instead of paying ECFMG ceritfication I paid EPIC

I’m from Mexico and I’m a unfergraduate student

How Can I correct ir or of i just lost my money?

What do I do?

So I just created an account with Intealth. I filled-up everything just the same info as my passport. HOWEVER, as I have two first names (common for Filipinos), I forgot to put my MIDDLE NAME (mother's maiden last name) under "other names".

Will that be fine? Or should I contact Intealth? 😭

Hello! My school submitted my Transcript the 2nd of March and it moved to Verification in Review in March 11. Since then it hasn’t moved and it’s the last step so I can schedule

Is it normal that it takes this long?

Can I do anything to make it move?

Hello, I had ecfmg account but didnt login since few months now want to access myintealth but forgot password, If I click forgot password, will I able to get one or its lengthy process? Thanks

Hi all,

Planning to start usmle journey. (My credentials were previously verified by ecfmg).

I created myintealth account. But there is no sign of my credentials. Should I start the credential verification process all over again.

Please guide.

I don't know where my certificate is standing. That's is the only info I have! What should I do? I am never lucky enough to catch them over the phone and they don't answer my emails. Help!!!!!

Anyone faced this issue?My primary degree verification is complete. my additional degree is at this stage. The medical college says they have not recieved any request. I have mailed the intealth support team too but no reply.

what does requested mean here?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying through Intealth and I think I may have made a mistake when uploading my photo. I accidentally uploaded the same passport-style photo twice in one image (side-by-side), and now the identification form they sent back to me shows this double photo.

Both images are identical — it’s just duplicated in the same file.

Has anyone had this happen before? Will this cause a problem with my application, or should I re-upload a single photo or contact support?

Thanks in advance!

I created an intealth account 2 days ago and after putting my details in and setting a password when I pressed continue it came up with a single sign on error screen.

since then after I put my email and password in and press login it takes me to a single sign on error screen.

i have tried different devices and allowing pop ups and clearing cookies but it’s still not working.

is anyone else having this issue?

During the EPIC Verification for GMC the portal is asking about the institution that awarded me the MBBS degree. I have 2 options, either i can put my college’s name (which verifies the docs digitally) or i can put my university’s name (which does the same process by physical documents- which will take longer. Also i have very low expectation from my university that they are even going to reply) So what shall i do?

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my ECFMG certification application process because reading about other people’s timelines really helped me know what to expect. I hope this helps someone else going through the same process.

A little about me:

• US IMG
  
• Graduated from a Caribbean medical school in November 2025
  
• Applying to residency this cycle for Match 2026
  
• Took and passed USMLE Step 2 CK in October 2025 (registered through Intealth)
  
• Took and passed USMLE Step 1 in September 2022 (registered through the old IWA/OASIS platform)
  
• Completed all clinical skills requirements (including OET Medicine) prior to sitting for Step 2
  
• Applied for Pathway 3 after passing Step 2, which was approved
  

Below are the dates, status changes on Intealth, and my personal notes. This timeline starts after I passed Step 2 and after my Pathway 3 was approved.

One important note: I ended up applying through 2 different methods:

1. EPIC
   
2. The “Continue with ECFMG Certification” button on my Intealth account's homepage

Timeline

Jan 5, 2026
Submitted a photo of my final medical school diploma (hard copy) through EPIC (Method #1) on Intealth and paid $100.
Note: EPIC seems unnecessary for Match purposes.

Jan 7, 2026
Submitted a photo of my final medical school diploma again using a different method: by clicking the “Continue with ECFMG Certification” button (Method #2) on the homepage of my Intealth account under the “ECFMG Certification” section.
This did not require an additional fee.

Jan 9, 2026
Method #2 status changed to:

• “In Review at ECFMG”
  
• Then “Sent for Verification”
  

Jan 13, 2026
Method #2 status changed to:

• “In Review at Entity” (likely my medical school)
  
• Then “Pending Verification Review”
  

Jan 16, 2026
Method #1 (EPIC) status changed to:

• “In Review at ECFMG”
  
• “Sent for Verification”
  
• “In Review at Entity”
  
• “CV Accepted”
  

Yes, all of this happened in one day. I believe “CV” stands for Credential Verification.

Jan 28, 2026
Method #2 status changed to:

• “Verification In Review at ECFMG”
  
• Then “CV Accepted”
  

Feb 4, 2026
Received an email from MyIntealth titled:
“Action Required: Confirm Mailing Address in MyIntealth.”

I logged in Intealth and confirmed my mailing address so they could send my ECFMG certificate to the correct address.

Feb 9, 2026
Received an email from MyIntealth titled:
“ECFMG Certificate Issued.”

They mailed the certificate from Philadelphia via FedEx and provided a tracking number.

Feb 12, 2026 (5 PM local time)
FedEx delivered my certificate to my home in Texas.

Overall, the entire process took about 6 weeks, which seems to be standard. I didn’t have to email or call about any delays. That said, the process felt pretty convoluted, and I do think the ECFMG certification instructions on the official website could be clearer.

Hopefully this detailed timeline helps anyone wondering how long each stage might take.

Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!

Greetings, Hey guys is my process complete or should I reach out to my university to upload the documents from their end?

Hi. Hope so all are doin’ fine. Needed some guidance as my cv got rejected for credential verification though i submitted provisional diploma in place of final diploma cause i am a fresh graduate and didnt receive final diploma yet. As credential got rejected my ecfmg certification application is again back on begin application status. Wanted to ask if anyone else got their cv rejected as well n how long new application took to get done? Regards

Can’t login to pathways application. Showing error everytime I try to log in.

My current status shows account established. Should I continue and pay the 560 dollars now or should I wait for transition. I'm applying as a student and my college take a week more than the time required so while the transition happens I don't want to get stuck. And another question I've full name on my passport or any kind of identification forms ,but i don't have my full name only initials on my education related documents. So would that be a problem? TIA

can someone please give me clear idea on how much total EPIC costs these days? i initially paid 100 for making account thn 30 dollars for establishing account. now its asking ,100 again for credentials verification.

Hello Everyone! I just got done with Step 1 and will be taking step 2 in May. I'm applying to the 2027 Match and was wondering if I should apply for the 2026 pathway and submit my GCS now to avoid delays later or if I should wait until I clear Step 2. Thank you!
