I have read somewhere on the forum that a guy had different names on educational degree (with middlename) and EE profile (w/o middlename). WES wrote a remark stating something like "name as mentioned in the degree". I think the person got the name corrected on his degree.

It will be great if you can get it corrected first hand before sending for evaluation.

Hope it helps

All my names are the same everywhere. However, WES made a mistake in my name in the evaluation. When I informed them about it, they asked me resend all the documents again and start all over.

I have also read on this forum that if you explain your case they will provide the ECA based on the name which appears on your passport.

Is this something that anyone else has experienced as well?

Thanks,
Vincent

You can enter the pool and explain in LOE (incase u receive ITA) abt Wes's mistake and that u r in the process of correcting that. Send your emails as evidence.

Write an Letter to issue your report in the name as per your passport. send them a copy of your passport (which would have your mother and father's name) and you can reason with them that in one of educational programs they have written father/mother's name as middle name. However, my legal name is as per my passport.
My spouse had written this letter to highlight her maiden name (on educational certificates) and name after marriage. WES Report had her name as "First Maiden (After Marriage Surname)".
Hope this would help you.

Hey! What did WES reply in this regard? I am facing the same situation. My first and fourth year marksheets as well as my Degree has Surname|My Name| Father's Name| Mother's Name whereas second and third year marksheets has Surname|My Name| Father's Name (which is as mentioned in my passport).Were you able to workaround this?

Can anyone clarify -

1st certificate name is same as passport name
2nd certificate name is slightly different as passport name (part of the first name - spelling)

Would this be an issue if I submit for ECA?

Hi, Help me if anyone faces this issue.

WES has canceled my application and mentioned the below reason.

"We regret to inform you that we are unable to prepare an evaluation report for you due to a significant difference between the name on your order and the name on one or more of the credentials submitted"

What are the supporting documents I'm supposed to send to WES when my name on the passport and academic certificates differ? For example, I was a Christian got married to a Muslim guy in all my education credentials I have my Christian name but in my passport, I have a Muslim name since it was changed after marriage. So guide me with what are the documents I need to submit to WES for verification?
