WES publishes a processing time of a few weeks after they receive all required documents, but the real wait often depends on your university, since many institutions must send transcripts directly or in sealed envelopes, and that step can take months. If WES rejects your documents, they'll tell you what's missing or incorrectly sent; fixing it usually means asking your institution to resend properly. Start early, follow WES's country-specific instructions exactly, and keep proof of everything you send.
