WES publishes a processing time of a few weeks after they receive all required documents, but the real wait often depends on your university — 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.
