PS: I did not send a single mail or make a call to WES to enquire about the status during this period.
My Observations (especially true if you're from India):
If your college is recognized (probably helps if you have a degree from an institute of national/international repute), then WES wouldn't take longer-than-usual time to verify your degree. I guess 1 month is a standard time they take before accepting your documents. Most of the recognized colleges/universities have dedicated officers who know how to quickly verify your degree(s), in case WES reaches out to them.
Wishing you all the very best!
