Finally, I got the update that my report will be made by 16th Jan, 2019 after a long ordeal of almost 5 months. My overall timeline is:Further update on my case..
WES sent documents for secondary verification: 12th Dec
We received your documents, we are evaluating your documents: 20th Dec (my institute was very quick I guess)
Not sure what WES will come back with now. Anxiously waiting to see the status update on date of evaluation completion.
July end: Created profile thinking it will take max 2-3 months to complete the overall process
Aug: Got transcripts for masters easily. Took only 2 days to get the transcripts from IIM L over email (being overseas it was a big relief) and I was happy that it will be done soon
Aug to Oct: Sent multiple emails to GGSIPU to get transcrips. Tried sending someone on my behalf to get the transcripts and after 3-4 visits to Univ. I finally got the transcripts in Nov (let me know if you want to know the process for GGSIPU)
16th Nov: Got GGSIPU transcripts and sent to WES on the same day thru DHL. I was so surprised that DHL guy asked me immediately if I want to send it to WES just after a glance at the envelope seems a lot of people are going thru the process
19th Nov: Delivered to WES
23rd Nov: Update from WES that docs are received (5 working days just to update that)
13th Dec: Process initiated for secondary verification for IIM L and informed that WES did not receive my degree for GGSIPU (they took 19 days for just that)
13th Dec: Sent scanned copy of degree over eFax (used HelloFax.com trial offer for free, let me know if you want to know the number on which fax can be sent)
14th Dec: Status updated as "Accepted" for GGSIPU degree and marksheet
20th Dec: Documents received, we are reviewing your documents, but still no timeline (same status as 23rd Nov..was afraid that they will ask for secondary verification for GGSIPU as well after a few days). Kudos to IIM L for confirming secondary verification in just 1-2 days of WES asking them.
21st Dec: Evaluation under process, report expected by 16th Jan..finally a sigh of relief. I was lucky that secondary verification was not asked for GGSIPU degree.
All the best to everyone who is still struggling with WES (hopefully I will not receive anymore surprises from WES)!!!
