lsorunke:


I'm currently having issues with wes too. have paid my evaluation fees $189 documents by documents WES ICAP since January 30,2016, and my transcript has been sent by my school here in nigeria. WES have received my document from school for like 5-6weeks ago, yet the response im still seeing on my WES status is "WAITING FOR VERIFICATION FROM INSTITUTION" Have tried calling WES they are not picking up, sent them different mails but not responding. what can i do pls..

Bhoyo:
Hello house, pls what could have happened to my verification document after wes said they have sent verification to my school but my school insisted that they have not received for almost four weeks now. Pls what can I do?

ruky8:
Hi guys . need your help on this. I applied to Wes to have my transcript evualated, paid the required evaluation fee, about 290 dollars after which my school sent my transcript to Wes via dhl. Five days later Wes sent my credentials back to my school for verification and my document has been with my school for a week now. So I went to my school to find out why they've not verified and replied Wes, they said Wes is suppose to pay them 100dollars before verifying my credentials so they emailed Wes to remit the money to the school account two days ago but Wes is yet to reply my school. So today I called Wes on phone with the number on their site, told them my reference number and my problem, but they said they don't pay schools to get verification done ,that they have never paid any school and they are also yet to see the email my school sent. No my problem is Wes doesn't pay school and my school is wait on them to remit a hundred dollars if they don't see d money in the schools account they won't touch my document. Please how do I go about it?? And has any one had similar issue in the past. Please your advice urgently needed because the schools am applying to is waiting on my verified transcript from Wes and application deadline is almost near. Thank you.

Zilifish:
Same situation too. How will my school respond?its been over a week now

ioJoe:
I have just received the same upon requesting an evaluation from WES. Kindly anyone with experience explain to me how to go about me. For example, are the documents sent to school via e-mail, courier, or Postal address?

NeeYoh:
FYI: You can send your academic transcript photocopy via fax to WES (No need for courier or Postal service). It's easier and cost effective also. Just download a fax app from Google playstore or Apple app store, buy credit units for sending fax document, get WES fax no from wes.org, include your WES Ref no in the cover note and document. Make sure the document is in black and white NOT coloured and less than 20mb. After sending the document, your document should be received and accepted by WES latest the following day.

No, I was referring to the academic certificate(my mistake).

@Neeyoh

I assume you have gone through WES verification process which they do by sending duplicate copies of the documents they received back to the issuing school to verify and confirm the authenticity.
Please from your experience, it takes how many
days/weeks for the regular hardcopy mail (request for verification) from WES to be received in Nigeria?
Any idea if WES makes use of Courier services 'speed post' or the ordinary snail mailing?

Thank you in anticipation

Hi Boss
Although this post is more than a year old, I am happy to have come across it as I am currently in this same situation you were in last year.
After paying $302 for WES to evaluate my transcripts, they informed me just on 17/07/2017 that they have sent verification request to my schools after a week of receiving my documents. I am aware that WES sometimes send email for schools that make use of that for verification) and regular hardcopy mail too.
Please from your experience, it takes how many days/weeks for the regular hardcopy mail from WES to get to the school in Nigeria? I need to know this so that I can know when to go and sit on their neck in my schools so that they can verify and reply WES on time as I'm having less than 3weeks deadline for the school I'm applying to to receive the evaluation report from WES.
Thank you in anticipation

This post is couple of months old now.
How did you go about it then ?

Please i am in the same situation right now. How did you resolve this and how long did it take? Thanks

manlikegb:




@NeeYoh, referring the bolded statement above, is it compulsory to have the document in black and white? Reason I am asking is because I already have a scanned copy of my degree certificate(coloured) and I intend to just upload it and send to WES through free fax services online. Please guide me with your knowledge.

2. Also, how do I include my WES Reference number with the degree certificate using the fax route?
3. Assuming I made a photocopy of my certificate, is it advisable and acceptable to use a pen to write my WES Reference boldly on it?
4. Would it be sufficient to type my Reference No in the the "Fax message" column.

Thanks for your time.

AusterHeights:
I am in the same situation right now, how were you able to resolve it? WES said they sent the docs to my school for verification but my uni here confirmed to me that they didn't receive anything in my name. Registrar's assistant even opened their email box for. E to read. Pls reply

wykcool:


I'm still on it. After speaking with one of their CSRs last Friday I was told to ask the schools for an alternative email address where they can resend it. I contacted the schools again and sent it to WES yesterday Monday and followed it up with a call, but I was told it will take 3 working days to review the email addresses and get back to me.
Were your documents for WES USA or WES Canada? If it's USA, then it seems their is an issue with WES USA mail delivery to Nigeria as it doesn't take this much time for WES Canada mail to get delivered..."my observation so far"

.....saw your post on USA visa part 12 thread, we'll get there by HIS grace

AusterHeights:
Thanks for your response. It's WES USA. They've 'sent' mine twice now, gave them correct email address (as stated by school) the second time. What school is yours? Can we chat on WhatsApp

Dear Ruky8 and Everyone experiencing the same problem, so sorry to know you are having this issue with WES Canada. I was in this same condition too but, I just got mine resolved. Here is the path to follow;
first, when you see awaiting verification from institution, it means WES have sent a request to your School and you will also see the VDR request mail in your inbox. Please note that WES mostly sends the VDR to your School my email. if you require hard copy to be sent to your school, WES will charge you for Courier service.
Confirm from your school academic office if there is any fees to send the verification document. if no fees then you are lucky, the officer in charge will send the document by email or fax without you even asking. If there is a fee to be paid, they will let you know. Just follow the school's procedure to pay such fees after which the officer in charge will send the request by email or fax.
If you want WES to receive the verification document from your school in a week time, then request from your school that they send through Courier service and you pay the money for the courier service and viola.
I wish this little information will be of help to everyone.

ruky8:


From my experience. about a week from when WES update your profile to awaiting verification from your school, you should notify your school about verifying your transcript. It's also better and faster if you have someone on the inside say an assistant registral. It will make it easy since you close to the deadline and verification may require you paying to your school again.
Hope this helps.

Guys please does WES accept faxed certificates? and for those that have tried it how soon did u receive a e-mai for confirmation? is it the black and white thing compulsory for sending the fax?
