What is the timeframe to complete the evaluation when a verification request is sent to an institution?

Institutions can take from less than one week to over four weeks to respond to WES’ request for verification.

  • You can always monitor the status of the verification in My Account.
  • When documents have been sent for verification, the status for those documents under "My Documents" will indicate "Received Documents Awaiting Verification".
  • Once WES receives a response from the institution, the status will change to "Documents Received - Review in Progress".
  • After WES has reviewed and accepted the documents, the status will change to "Accepted".

WES will proceed with your evaluation once all the required documents for the credentials being evaluated have been received and accepted.
