IQAS ECA timeline tracking

[nimit.anand]

Hey Buddy,
I just saw that you sent your degree and transcripts in one packet. Did you sent that packet yourself or did your institution send it directly to IQAS.
I have two degree and their respective transcripts (sealed and stamped by the universities). Can i send all these documents in one big envelope myself?

I had taken my transcripts from the universities earlier in sealed envelopes. When I applied for ECA, I just sent everything to IQAS in one packet. I think you can do the same thing. In these cases, generally, you get AOR1 and AOR2 at the same time.

I have an out of context query.

Why do people apply to IQAS and wait for 6 months.

WES does evaluation in approx 40 days.

Isnt It better to apply to WES instead of IQAS?

One of the reasons I went with IQAS was that they were accepting transcripts directly from candidate. Since Dec 2018, WES has stopped accepting transcripts from candidate and only accept it from the institution. Since I had transcripts and was based out of US (which made it difficult to get transcripts again), I went with IQAS.

Hi guys! I'm new here. I really hope to get help here as I need to understand so many things. Transcripts were delivered since March 7,2019.
Below is my profile status and the mail I got from iqas.

Status: Pending
Status Reason: waiting for transcripts
Date submitted: Jan 25
Application receive date: May 28
Status date: May 28

Thank you for applying to the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) for an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for immigration purposes. This email is to confirm that your application was received by the IQAS office. Once the academic documents you requested from your institution(s) arrive in our office, we will send you a second email and your file will be placed in line for processing.

My questions are;
1. Is the mail AOR 1?
2. What do they mean by waiting for transcripts after courier confirmed delivery since 7th of March?
3. Why is application receive date May 28 when I actually submitted since Jan 25? I need enlightenment pls

1. Yes this is your AOR1.
2. They open mail in the sequence it comes in. Since your application was received earlier, you have received AOR1. Right not they are opening mails that were received in third or fourth week of Feb. Once they reach first week of March, you would get AOR2.
3. Application submitted date is when you submitted online. However, application receive date is when IQAS actually got to your physical application which in your case was May 28th.

WES used to be fast but now they too have workload and took 4.5 months for my wife's evaluation. Pros of dealing with WES is that they respond to your email however, they declined my masters from IMT so have to come to IQAS.

Will IQAS refund my money after not recognising or cancelling of the SMU-DE credentials ?

Good day people. This query is for those who downloaded their ECA report during the fluctuation stage. I want to know whether the dates on the ECA report download during the fluctuation stage and the one downloaded after it was mailed are the same.
Cc. @Lysea @aliyas2 @CNP

I downloaded my report 2 days after the fluctuation, normal procedure. The date on it is the date of the final revision.
You can wait 2 days for your certificate to be available in your IQAS portal. that's what I did
