How long does it take for an LOR to show up on LSAC?

My professor said she uploaded it yesterday, November 4th- however LSAC still says it has not been acknowledged yet by her. Does it generally take a while for electronic LORs to show up?

I received an immediate email notification every time a recommendation letter is uploaded, and around one day later another email saying the letter has been processed. I'm not too sure about your case where it is not "acknowledged". If after another one or two days nothing changes, you can ask your recommender to forward the acknowledgement email s/he received after uploading the letter to you and contact LSAC on this matter.

It took mine an entire week to show up. He uploaded it on Monday and it didnt show up until Friday. I contacted LSAC on that Thursday and they said it can take 5 business days to appear.

Thanks! That's reassuring. Did you get a notification when he uploaded it though?

You get a notification when LSAC has processed it. He sent me an email on Monday letting me know he uploaded it. I got the LSAC email on that Friday.

I received two emails from LSAC for each letter of recommendation, usually differing by one day. Two of my recommenders told me via email that they uploaded the letter, which came when I received the the first LSAC notification. I could be wrong though, or they changed the way they do things.
ETA: but I would not worry about this. Seems nobody gets f**ked up by LSAC at this stage of process. It will show up soon.
