Hi Insidematrix,

WES evaluation is in two steps. First they review your documents and then they evaluate them. For me, each step took about 20 days. It is when your documents reach Evaluation stage, that you get a completion date. So if I was you I would wait till the 20th-22nd of this month, and by then they should start evaluation, and you should get an estimated completion date.

Hope that clears things up.
Thanks, but it also says that Evaluation is in progress. I will better wait until the end of this month. I believe they advertise that evaluation will be completed within 20 days.

Yes, I know it says evaluation is in process, it's confusing, but right now they're reviewing your documents and not evaluating them. Where it says "We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)" it will change to "We are reviewing your evaluation report." and you will get a due date for completion, that is 20 days later.

Hi, i sent transcripts first (without the diploma for own mistake) and it was reviewed for 2 weeks and accepted, and now i obviously have to send diploma separately. Question - once they receive the diploma will it again take 2-3 weeks to review or will it go straight to evaluation then as reviewing of transcript has already been done?
Asking since i think the CRS points are about to come down in the next 30-45 days and afraid my wes will take longer.

My documents were received about 10 days, my last update was 7 days ago, but I still don't have a "Due Date" yet... Is this normal? Will the 20 days start from when they received the document 10 days ago?

Current status is:
We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s).

Are you talking about final diploma certificate copy?
I think you can even fax them that copy to make things faster...check with customer care.... Assuming u already sent sealed transcript...

Yes, final diploma of Bachelors. I wrote to wes, mentioning fax (as i, too, read it somewhere), but they did not reply to fax question and just mentioned to mail it, so i have done that, it should reach them in another 7-10 days time.
Transcript was already received by wes on 17th of March, went under review March 19th and on April 4th it showed as transcript accepted, but diploma missing. What im wondering is - will the application again go under review when they receive the final diploma or straight to evaluation..
If anybody has input, please share.

Yes, that is normal. The 20 days period should be calculated from the date they accepted the documents, not from when they received. In your case, you would probably get an update in next 3-4 working days. Once they accept your documents, they start evaluation and provides you an estimated date of completion.
Hope this clarifies your question.

Thanks, and yes it does. That is rather frustrating, I have to wait 2 whole weeks plus another 4 weeks.... Was expecting the whole process to take around 1 month based on the info on their website which states 20 business days from when they receive docs... obviously not it seems.
