The other day I filed two applications. Neither immediately appeared after filing, as you describe, but one did appear by the next morning. I called the AAU to ask about the second one (I called at 8:30am, as soon as AAU opened, and still was on hold for nearly 45 minutes). I was told that "it appears that the application got stuck in the back-end of Patent Center." She escalated the issue and messaged some IT person who could help, and it did show in my workbench within 24 hours. She assured me that this kind of thing happened in PAIR as well, and that it's random, and that there's nothing we can do to prevent it from happening again. I never remember this issue in PAIR, but perhaps I just never experienced that luck of the draw. Has this happened to anyone else while using PAIR, or is it a Patent Center thing?<br>
