Silent reader here. I am glad to announce we got our Passport Request (PPR) today!!! Hopefully this will encourage those in waiting.

More details below:

Family Composition: 3 - Myself, Spouse and Daughter
Travel History: UK, USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Qatar, UAE, Hungary... the list goes on and irrelevant.
Acknowledgement of Receipt: 28 April 2017
Medical Passed: Mid- June 2017 (We sorted our medicals few weeks before AOR)
Background Check (NA1): August 2017
Additional Document Request: 2nd August 2017 (Schedule A for spouse)
Background Check (IP1): Mid-August 2017
File Transferred to London VO: 5th September 2017
Background Check (NA2): September 2017
Background Check (IP2): 5th December 2017
Passport Request (PPR): 5th December 2017

The entire process from AOR to PPR took 221days. The wait was very frustrating for us as it took much longer than the average processing time, it got even worse when we read how London VO keep files in their queue for much longer than expected. We are however grateful to the Almighty for seeing us through to the finish line before the end of the year.

Wishing those still waiting the very best in this journey. Cheers

Congratulations

Follow them on Facebook @WES Advisor. They respond fast here and twitter.

OK. Thanks

I even went as far as arguing with one of the female customer care officers when she insisted I opened the my transcript from ICAN. Send mail to this email address and be nice in ur introduction and ur explanation. lgrogg@wes.org. I guess she is a senior official.

Thanks Issyman for ur kind gesture. You've been of great help.

Issyman:
Plz call their customer care line, explain to them. Also DM their twitter handle. I was once in that situation and I kept calling their customer care nos everyday until I was able to speak with a supervisor. Also, do this, track the package on their website, see when it was delivered and compare with when your status was updated or when u received the mail. Further more, insist you didn't tampered with the transcript cos u didn't see it. Suggest to them to verify from the institution. It took me 2 weeks to get mine resolved.

That's true cos how will I bear the brunt for what wasn't my fault. Will make sure I use all means to get my msg across to them ... I pray I get a way forward this week. Thanks

Thank you. So now I know of two churches. Would be able to advise people better. Thanks

Methodist is also licensed to issue certificates

Hello,
This happened to a close friend of mine, contact wes via twitter dm, tell them the envelope was properly sealed and the stress and cost involved with requesting and sending the transcript is quite high and you dont wish to go through all that again. This was his explanation and wes started reviewing his documents a day later. I hope this helps.

Thank you. Will try this out as well.

@Fayzz

If you eventually get WES to send the package back to you, sure you know it won't be free.

Best bet is to follow up on OOU to resend another one and pay again.

If you use another evaluation body, say ICES....I doubt if you will ever get a refund from WES....

The choice is yours..

Thank you.

elfmann:
Omo, let them send another oh or u choose another body. Either way money must be involved. So sad!

OK. Thank you

einsteino:
you want wes to mail back your transcript? it sounds like a long thing o... but your transcript too cost not to try. in my experience they rarely reply their emails. try faxing them, also someone once dropped tips on how you can call them for dirt cheap using skype.

Sent a fax also but learnt they were on break cos of the thanksgiving but will resume on monday. Will try the skype. Thank you

Hello house

Pls I need your opinion. School (OOU) finally sent my transcript to WES but got an email from WES stating that the transcript has been tampered with due to the way it was sealed. And school said they need WES to return the transcript before anything can be done. I've been mailing WES ever since just to get a solution to this to avoid spending that much all over again, but got no response. Don't knw if there is anything I can do? Pls want to know if anybody has been in this situation before and what was done to resolve it and also any advice on what to do to avoid spending almost 80k again. Thanks.

Hello OOU alumni in the aus, I've got a local transcript which was meant for something else b4, signed and sealed. Don't knw if I can send that to WES for evaluation.
Pls I need response to this urgently.

The actual amount for international Transcript application is 50k, 1k for alumni, a total of 51k. For the courier, I would advise you send the transcript yourself coz they might collect the extra 16k and use post office to send it.
Regarding processing time, depends on your contact link at exams and records. Be advised.

Hello house, pls I need help from any OOU alumni that has gotten their transcript sent to WES. How much it cost to get the transcript and how long it took for the whole process. I learnt money for transcript is different from the money for courier. Was told to pay 51k for foreign transcript and extra 16k for courier. Want to confirm if this is also what you paid or there is a better way to it. Thanks
