nmicky:
please the confirmation sent to school by wes for authentication. is it an email or d transcript itself

WES sends photocopies of the transcripts by email (as attachment) and also by regular post.

ok,if I may ask the one time payment covers both ND,HND and Waec verification?
2 I also saw that one will need Waec scratch card during the waec procedures, and is it important that i include professional certificate during the said verification, though the this last statement is not meant for these forum "can I use Ielts that I am using for Australia for the Canada express entry"

if I may ask the one time payment covers both ND,HND and Waec verification?

yes the one time payment to WES covers all the educational qualifications your school(s) would be sending them for your evaluation. Note that this payment does not include whatever fees charged by your school(s) to process and send your documents to WES.

I also saw that one will need Waec scratch card during the waec procedures

Unfortunately i don't know the answer to this, WAEC was included in the verification process in August 2018, i started my verification before then so i was not asked to provide WAEC.

is it important that i include professional certificate during the said verification

Here's a link to check for the answer to this: https://www.wes.org/advisor-blog/which-credentials-does-wes-evaluate/

can I use Ielts that I am using for Australia for the Canada express entry

I don't know

Daporeals:
Hello guys,please I want to ask if it advisable to do both ND and HND verification during transcripts verification or only HND will be enough

You need BOTH ND and HND for a degree equivalency evaluation, HND only is not enough

yvonneokoruwa:
Please any other person could respond.

I know my school is supposed to send my transcript directly to WES, but on WES application under Education, there's a place for "Add Another Credential" , so do I go ahead and add Masters degree, Bachelor's degree and WAEC? Thank you as I await your reply.

A few questions:

1. What education were you originally evaluating for? https://www.wes.org/required-documents/

2. When you login to your account you should see the required documents for the evaluation you're currently doing, what documents does it tell you are needed?

3. In your account, do you see a link to "upgrade your report"?

zohan101:
Please how long did it take Wes to complete the evaluation after they received a feedback from your institution?

Evaluation started on February 12, 2019, completed on Feb 20, 2019 - 7 working Days

Congratulations.
Pls how long did your WAEC confirmation take to reach WES

WAEC certificate was introduced by August 2018. I started my evaluation before August 2018 so i wasn't asked for WAEC certificate

geemailer2019:


All documents have now been reviewed and accepted on February 02, 2019. Evaluation in progress, to be completed on February 20, 2019.

Note that WES accepts both courier delivery or email verification from your school, so your school can either send it by courier or scan and send the documents.

Evaluation now completed by WES.

slydog:


Hi, I think the email will be faster. What is the wes email addy that my school can send to WES. Got a pg from Uniport, I will want to hustle to make sure it is sent by mail, though I will be forced to still pay for courier

I don't know the email address. Ask your school to check the verification email or documents sent to them, WES provides the email address to them

geemailer2019:


I just noticed that WES updated my status on January 31, 2019 to "We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)." Evaluation in progress.

Alobay:
House please advise. I have sent all my documents to WES for evaluation and I believe some of them, not all, have reached WES. But anytime I check my WES account to know which documents they have received (especially for the purpose of pursuing transcript verification in my schools) all what I see on my WES account is "Status: In progress We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)."

I have been seeing this message now for almost 2 weeks now and WES has not even sent me any email for any update whatsoever. What do I do please?

You could contact them directly and ask for update. They replied to my emails within 24 - 48hrs https://www.wes.org/contact-us/

Don't forget to include your WES reference number in the form

Bond4141:
pls help a brother. i'm a graduate of OAU. I applied 4 my transcript to b send 2 Wes tru etx-ng for weeks now, amd still not getting any response.
It's taking forever already, wat should i do?

Can you give more details for clarity? Also i think you should ask this in a new thread so that discussions around the issue (Processing transcripts through etx-ng) can help others, but if it helps, here is a summary of my process with etx-ng:

July 4 - Transcript order made by me on etx-ng website. to be sent to WES, US.

July 4 - Payment made manually through my paypal account. I chose PayPal instead of credit card. Paypal express payment failed multiple times on etx website so i contacted etx through their website CHAT and they provided a paypal account i could send payment directly to.
Payment made through my PayPal account.
Evidence of payment sent to Etx by email.

July 10 - Etx requests for the following documents and information:
Scanned copy of statement of result,
State and LGA of origin,
Have you obtained transcript before? if yes, when?
WES Transcript request form
July 10 - documents and information all sent to etx by email

July 12 - Application for transcripts made by Etx-ng
July 12 - Etx requests for thesis title

July 14 - after not finding the exact thesis title, i made an educated guess since i knew pretty well what the topic was about, but all they needed was the title.

Sept 7 - status changes to "your school is generating your transcripts"

Sept 18 - status changes to "school is signing transcripts"

Sept 26 - Transcript Dispatched to WES through DHL. Tracking number provided as well.

Oct 3 - VDR notification from WES

geemailer2019:


It turned out that the schools received my request for transcript verification but they kept it aside waiting for me to pay N10,000 each for transcript verification. The second school had the transcript verification in their file for Nov 2 (the VDR email was sent to me on Oct 3 so i would advise to give your school up to 4 weeks to receive and document it). I have paid the money and waiting to get confirmation from WES that my transcripts and documents have been verified.

One problem i see here is that the schools did not reply WES to inform them that some fee needed to be paid, so that WES could inform me, they did not have any contact phone number either on their website, they also did not put any information on the website informing people about transcript verification fees, so that someone could be aware of what is going on. The system is simply designed in such a way that you physically have to go to the school and process your transcripts, and also anticipate that the delay was due to some fee to be paid.

I just noticed that WES updated my status on January 31, 2019 to "We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)." Evaluation in progress.

geemailer2019:
Thank you all for all the information you have provided so far. I am also in the same situation as some people and i'll use this thread to update my experience so far as it progresses. This thread has helped me with more information to further pursue my case.

I started my own transcript processing in July 2018, I was processing my transcripts from 2 institutions for US Degree equivalence. For the first institution, my friend helped me pay the processing fees and get it processed and sent to WES in August 2018. For the second transcript, i used etx-ng.com to process it which which was also sent by courier in Sept 2018 (ETX-ng may ask for your project topic, and letter from WES which you can easily download and email to them, if your school requires these for transcript processing). The VDR notification from WES for the second institution came on Oct 3, 2018.

Since then i have been waiting, i already missed the fall/winter enrollment. I didnt realize the delay could be from verification fees to be paid, its difficult to deal with issues like this when you're on a tight work schedule and thousands of miles away and no way to contact your school by phone or email.

After reading through this thread, i have been gingered again and i've now contacted some people to help me go find out directly from the offices in charge. I will post updates here.
