World Education Services [WES] — Complaining about wrong evaluation

Dear sir/ madam, My WES no. is 4852382. I have completed my bachelors degree in microbiology from University of Texas at Arlington and my masters degree from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. As mentioned in website i only sent my masters degree certificate and transcript to WES. And when WES sent me the evaluation form it sent my masters equivalency as 4 years bachelor in science. I don't really know how WES comes to this conclusion. My doubt is that WES assumed my bachelors degree is 3 years which most of the students in Nepal have. In Nepal however most of the bachelors degree is now 4 years. I would request WES to reevaluate my certificate and transcripts and if required I am ready to send my bachelors degree certificate and transcripts as well. Yours faithfully Jayaram Lamichhane (lamichhane.[protected]@gmail.com) +[protected]

    World Education Services [WES] — Course-by-Course Evaluation (ICAP) - Initial Application

    I have provided WES with the document they requested, according to their website. However, they put my case on hold for the reason: WES received your document in an envelope that was NOT stamped or signed across the back flap by the appropriate official. Therefore, WES is not able to determine that the document was issued and sent directly by your institution.

    Which is not true as I am the one I received and double-check that everything is good, sealed and stamped envelope myself from my university (outside of the USA). it's been more than 2 months of contacting and they still providing me with the same note. They prevented me from enrolling and wasting the opportunity to register and complete my studies for the last term. I hope that I can file compliance against them

      My reference number is 4794608.
      It has been more than 20 days and still i have not got my report. The last date to send my new york university is 31st December 2020.

        World Education Services [WES] — Poor customer service, very slow updation of documents

        I called many times to the contact number of wes. Nobody answered the call even after waiting for 30-40 mins. My university from india sent transcripts via mail and they were delivered at wes-ny 12 days ago. My documents status is still on hold and is not updated. I wanted to know if they have received my documents and have started the evaluation process. I called customer service many times and nobody answered the call. I emailed many times and no replies at all. My deadline is in 2 days to submit my documents at my college at new jersey. I need my service to be carried out as quickly as possible.

          World Education Services [WES] — Second level evaluation

          For over 8 months, my school Federal University of Technology Owerri has not been receiving emails from WES. WES is yet to verify if they have the actual/correct email address for the school.
          This nonchalant attitude delays evaluation and thereby making us miss our deadlines. WES should verify they have the correct email address of the school to ensure that people receive value for services they have paid for.

              Wes stoled my money. I paid them for services I never received. I tried to get in contact with them and they have their phone number disabled. I couldn't get in contact with anybody on the phone and they don't reply to my emails. The app isn't helpful at all not the website. They don't even allowed to change the application or request directly for a refund. [censored]ing thieves I hate them.
              They are scam.

                World Education Services [WES] — 4553754 Ref # Course by Couse Evaluation Not yet Done, since Request in April

                I submitted the request for a course-by-course evaluation in April 24th.
                Sadly, I did not receive it yet, and I am about to lose an admission opportunity. It is even worst to see it happen without any explanation.

                My University, in Mozambique, is still waiting for WES contact to inform to which address they have to send the transcripts and its translations, electronically . I have contacted WES more than 10 times by email and by phone, and I have never received any justification regarding the reasons the evaluation has not been done.

                For an African woman like me, this evaluation is part of a bigger process, with a meaning bigger than a personal academic achievement. Please, take it into consideration when dealing with our processes.

                I still have some hope, and please, if WES cannot solve the problem inform us. Likewise, inform the universities that are still requiring WES evaluation, so they can find alternative institutions and nobody is negatively affected.

                  World Education Services [WES] — My documents delivery

                  I have sent numerous requests and did not get any help. Evaluation of my diploma was finished in April and until now I cannot get the information when my original diploma and the report will be send back to me.

                  Can someone help me on that?
                  It is been 3 months, I understand that COVID is the reason but at least keep your customers informed. Flights between Canada and Qatar were opened already, why my documents were not sent?

                    World Education Services [WES] — Report not received

                    Report # 3963137
                    On 7th of July 2020, I applied for a duplicate report to be sent to my address in California. It's my residential address and I will be vacating this home in two months. There's an unofficial PDF report in the website that shows my education credits but that doesn't count when I am applying for jobs, I cannot show an unofficial report.
                    On 8th of July 2020, the website shows that the report has been sent to me but so far I haven't received my report.
                    I am writing exams in USA and I will be applying for jobs thereafter. I have paid total of $115 including amount for sealed copies of WES duplicate evaluation report.
                    I need a refund if I cannot receive the report.

                      World Education Services [WES] — WES really needs to clean up

                      I really don't know where to start with WES and reading all these complaints gives a clear indication that they do not care. My University is still waiting for my evaluation, I.e I can no longer attend the intake this fall. I am beeing charged extra to have my evaluations delivered to the academic institution even though I had indicated the institution the first time around and don't know what happened. It's pointless trying to contact them, when I finally got through to the call centre, the lady was extremely rude, offered no help and made me feel as if I am wasting her time. I would really like my money back and even this is not enough because I have been cheated in every single way.

                        World Education Services [WES] — Credential Evaluation

                        I applied in January. First WES said that I did not send some documents, but it was in the same envelope, then change to other documents, and now say that did not receive the translations, ok. I can send again. But the big problem is the transcript from 2004. I went to my country and get both the transcripts from institutions, because they said that they could not send to WES, both were sealed whit stamp, but WES does not accept one of them. Why??? I followed directions from WES website. Now I can't return to my country to get the same document in the same way. I need the report or at least an acceptable justification for this situation.
                        WES never answer my inquire, just mechanical answer, /I need my problem solved or my money refunded.

                          World Education Services [WES] — Force selling

                          I'm trying to apply to a university in Canada (I'm Canadian) and they requested an unofficial transcript of my notes from France. I called WES as I did my official assessment with them to have access to the notes my school sent to them as all school are currently closed with the Covid situation. I mentioned to them that it was a time sensitive situation as it's for an application and I would lose a school year if I don't get the notes quickly.

                          They said my notes are now their property and I would have to pay for an upgrade to my assessment or they will not send me my notes. I feel like it's extortion as they know I'm trapped. They also didn't give me an approximate timeline for delivery and hang-up on me after insulting me.

                            World Education Services [WES] — Educational assessment for immigration

                            I went through WES for my Educational Assessment for Immigration to Canada by suggestion of a classmate. Me and my classmate both completed the same course ( Bachelors(4 years) and French Certification(1 year) )from same university but we both received different WES evaluation report.

                            For her, the WES evaluated it as Bachelor's (4 years) and college level certification (1 year) whereas for me they evaluated it as only Bachelor's (4 years).

                            This is unfair and breaks the trust from WES as how can they evaluate two people with same parameters differently and on top of that they don't give a reason and just say it is based on advisory opinions.

                            WES should understand how much money and time people invest in them each year and have hopes. I feel evaluation needs to be revised and corrected as soon as possible.
