Has anybody tried calling to WES ?
Please share your experiences. Any points to remember and consider while talking to them directly ?

I received my UK MBA validated in 3 days.
But my wife's Indian Bachelors is pending form past 40 days.
No response from webform or twitter handle.

Hence thought of calling them today.

Thanks
They take additional time to evaluate some degrees if they need additional information. For this, they contact the University and based upon the time of their response, it may get delayed. You will be getting the same standard response from them through the web form.

Still keep writing them and hope for the best. When you try to call, you will be on a wait for 30 odd minutes at least.

I have a friend who sent his documents back in November 2016 and his ECA has not been completed yet. His expected CRS is 456 and has missed a lot of chances because of this delay.

I didn't track my timeline but my case had delay because one of my course papers came from UK to WES which were sent by standard airmail, because my uni doesn't accept request to send them by courier. My India papers were already received a week before, WES updated website after 3 days of documents delivery, as mentioned on their website too that it takes 3 days for delivery to update.

So if it helps:

Docs sent from UK: 8 March (airmail typically takes minimum 8-10 days)
As on 16th March the status was still : docs received - evaluation in progress"(I believe this was because UK documents weren't received)
Sometime after 20th March my status changed to "evaluation in progress"
As on 27th March 2017, I received the notification that my evaluation was complete.
I opted for courier service so my report was received today, 30 March 2017, in two days as promised.

Of the 6 times I contact WES, they did not respond to my queries but simply resolved whatever the issue was (or it got fixed by itself, I will never know). The last query related to my results for which I am seeking more details, was raised on 27th and they have not replied yet. I believe they reply on need basis only but will usually resolve issue in the background if it's something they can do. Most issues I have heard with getting responses from WES is post result clarifications. I will update if they revert to me on my query.

Another one of my friend got her report in 1.5 months, because there was a deviation from standard trend in her education. She did a diploma first and joined in second year of bachelor degree, that many universities allow in India. We believe this was the cause of delay for her.

Hi guys. My status changed to documents recieved review under progress on 12 march. After a week it again changed to waiting for required docs. At the same time i got an email from wes saying that they have recieved my degree but not my transcripts. I called my university n they said they sent degree before n transcripts later(on 16 march) because they take time to process. Yesterday my status again changed to documents recieved review under progress. Does this mean they have recieved my transcripts as well? I tried reaching them theough support email but didnt got any reply.

I would assume that means they have received documents. When the actual evaluation starts (meaning they have ACCEPTED all documents as valid) then at least in my case and those I have heard, the status simply changes to "Evaluation in progress". WES doesn't reply that fast, I sent them a query early last week if they got my documents and they replied to me today confirming it.... 2 days after my evaluation already got complete and I even received the hard copies.
