Interfolio letters of rec taking longer than 3 days to reach AMCAS. Anyone else?

[lebesqueintgravy]

AMCAS says the letters of rec take up to 3 business days to receive from Interfolio, yesterday marked 5 business days since I sent them and they still hadn't shown up. I read a thread on here from 2019 that mentioned a AMCAS was having technical issues receiving the LORs from Interfolio. The person that start the thread resent the LORs, which seemed to work by the next morning. I'm trying that now and will update.

Anyone else having these issues? Or is this just me?

I also experienced this delay; my letters showed up about 5-6 days after submitting them from Interfolio. I tried submitting them again but it didn’t do anything to expedite the delivery

Was that 5-6 business days? My letter was confirmed of Interfolio delivery on 7/2/2021 and it has not been received by AMCAS yet. I guess today marks 3rd business day since it closed from 3-5th I believe.

As an update, I sent 4/5 of my letters on Jun 26th and they were marked "received" on AMCAS on Jul 5th. I sent my 5th letter from Interfolio on Jun 30th and it still hasn't come in yet. I'm hoping to get it by tomorrow since several of my schools have sent me "your secondary is complete and being reviewed". Really hoping they don’t evaluate my app without that last letter of rec.

It's a bit frustrating that this isn't an automated process considering we enter a destination code for each letter, but it is what it is.

I called AMCAS and was told that it is currently taking around 10 business days for Interfolio letters.

Makes no sense why it's taking 10 business days. This process should be automated. A person at AMCAS should not be manually inputting them through.

Another update, last LOR came in today so was about 6-7 business days for each letter for me.

I submitted letters for delivery last night. About 2 hours later, the delivery was confirmed by Interfolio, and this morning AMCAS marked them as received. Maybe the delays are resolved, or I just got really lucky.
