I studied in an American University in my home country. This school is affiliated with UC Berkeley. WES report says Country: United States in my report even though in reality the country where I was studying was my home country.

Is this incorrect? Should this be fixed? Needs LOE?

What should I select for country under Study and languages > Education history?

Thanks

You do put the country as the US but you have to put in a LOE when completing your document checklist. It would ask for a US PCC and you input your letter of explanation along with a transcript or something showing the program was done locally. At least that’s what I did. My degree certificate had both foreign and local schools written on it so I attached that with the LOE where it asked for the foreign PCC
