WES ECA status on Hold

[Nishika22]

Hello @Nishika22 , I'm in the same situation. Could you loop me into the private conversation? Thank you so much!!

Hey

I am facing the same issue. My WES shows on hold. Its from Panjab University which apparently is a listed University with WES. They have even responded on the mail to WES 4 days ago. I have written mails to WES twice. But no response so far. Can any body confirm the lead time in this situation.

This definitely a drag. Though the process would have been helpful if we could have a seen progress chart of the same.

It is what it is.

Please do let me know the average lead time in this case.

That's good to know! My application has been put on hold since 11th Nov. The university just took a couple of days to reply to the re-verification request and they replied to WES yesterday. I've also sent a message to WES on their 'Contact Us' page stating that my university has replied to their request. Hoping to complete the process in another week or so is a fair ask?

Hi All,

Appealing all the experts to help me out here.
I have gone through all the previous imfoinforma and kudos to wveevery for helping each other out. Really appreciate it and I thank the experts on everyone's behalf.

My fiancee's application has been put on hold and Wes has asked for verification of all the documents. (Transcripts and Degree certificates).
The two universities are as below.

WBUT - West Bengal University of Technology
VIT, vellore - Vellore institute of technology

Now, the issue is that they put the application on hold on the 14th of November.

Both of these universities are not answering their phone and we are unable to reach out to them.
So bottom line is that
1. We do not know what email id Wes has sent the email to.
2. No clue if email or hardcopy has reached these universities.
3. No clue if the universities are even aware of what should be done here.

When Wes asks for verification, do they send specific instructions to the universities to follow, like email id to reply to.. format of email subject and body.. etc?

I want to ask everyone here if anyone is from the above universities and if they are would like to know how did they handle this. Any advice would be valuable as I am completely at a loss and don't know what and how to do stuff.

Thank you all once again.

Regards,
Aniket

Thanks @tintin2018, do you remember how long it took for Bangalore University to respond to Wes after you paid the fee?

It required multiple-followups in person to get them to reply. It was almost 1.5-2 weeks, with repeated 'f2f' reminders

Annamalai university says they send email verification on 9th Friday.
WES says they have not received.
What should I do

Too much pain from WES

Hmmm...just a tip...the usual mail ID WES is asking institutions to respond to is verifca8@wes.org in a majority of current cases. Do check with your institution which email ID they responded to. The red flag is if they sent a mail to auto-sender@wes.org. Because mails to that ID do bounce back, but not instantly. Hence, your institution might feel it’s been sent when in fact it’s come back

They have responded to verifca8 email id only. They had quoted the reference which was there in WES email also. Is it mandatory that the reply should be sent from the email id to which WES has emailed? My institution might have replied from concerned dept email id. Thank you

No, its not mandatory for the reply to be sent from the same ID as the one at which the reverification request was received. For instance, in my husband's case, IMT received the request at the GM Admin ID and sent its verification mail from the Controller of Exams ID. WES accepted it in his case, so you should have no problem even if your institution did send its response from an ID other than the one the request was originally received at. Hope to hear of a positive update in your account status soon Cheers.
