PSA (rehashed from last year's thread):

It's that time of the year again: If you are rushing to submit your application on May 27th, do not do it! Every year we see applicants rush to submit their applications. They subsequently notice mistakes or realize that they could have written a much better (read: error-free!) essay had they given themselves a couple extra days or week(s) to review.

Yes, verification usually takes up to 8 weeks, but unless someone tells me otherwise, usually we begin getting "verified" applications by the end of June. However, the concept of "batches" is antiquated, and your application data may be accessible after you submit and your payment clears.
