My first LoR was uploaded 06/15 and then released 06/23. My second letter was uploaded 06/29 and still processing. I have two writers who are still preparing my letter. Anyone having a similar experience and concerned how long this is taking?

Same here. It seems very concerning to me. I'm asking my writers to rush

The LORs take way too long to get published. Does anyone know why this verification step was introduced?

It's to make sure that the right person wrote the right LOR for your specialty. Evidently, previous dual applicants had the wrong letters uploaded for the wrong specialty. Since then, someone at ERAS manually reviews your letter, ensures it's for you, and that it matches the specialty you're applying for. That's what the ERAS EFDO told me, anyway.
