It is generally the Tuesday of milestone week. When
there are local holidays sometimes the schedule is shifted but that is
the most common day.

I think most of the team uses "verified"
to mean "confirm that the fix is in the build". The most preferred
way is to try reproducing the original bug using the steps from the bug
report, and related cases. Verifying by source inspection is usually a
last resort when the problem is hard or impossible to reproduce (e.g.,
threading or locking problem, API documentation problem). If a code review
happens it usually occurs before the fix is even released, so it is unrelated
to the "verified" state in bugzilla.
