Pls send a mail to Mr. Randy Glean (WIU). He is in charge of international admissions. He is always ready to help.
And you will surely get a quick response.
At a point I was asked to pay app fee (which was the reason my processing was delayed), he stepped in and the fee was waived.
Pls send a mail to him.
