What does it mean if a POI still hasn't filled out his LOR

[TransferFunction]

So, in applying for graduate school, I asked a professor, whom I have been doing research with for a long time, to write me a letter of recommendation. He gladly agreed and promptly filled out all of the invitations except for the one at my current university. In reminding him through e-mail, I got no response from him and left it at that because it seems as though he knows what he's doing. However, to this day, he still  hasn't submitted it and I am scared it will hurt my chances. I don't want to keep badgering him but at the same time, I want to know what is going on. what should I do?

Definitely contact the professor and tell him that you need the LOR as soon as possible. Do you have another professor that would be able to write you a strong LOR as a backup, in case the first professor falls through? If so, let the first professor know that, if he doesn't have the time to fill out an LOR, you can have another professor do it; but you would rather know sooner than later.

He has filled out all the other invitations. I'm really confused as to why he didn't fill out my current university's invitation.

Email him, and politely remind him that you also applied to your current university. It might just be that he forgot that you also applied there. It used to be more uncommon to apply to your undergraduate university because of academic inbreeding; so he may have just assumed that you didn't apply there. If you can meet in person, that would be even better.

Don't email, call him by phone (or better yet, stop by his office in person). emails can be overlooked
