Hi,

Thanks for this information.
I have two doubts, though:
1) Did WES evaluate your credentials successfully without any hassle if your name was in a different format in your Bachelor's and Master's degree? Because I have that issue, my Bachelors documents have only my name and Masters documents have my name with surname.
Should I attach same name affidavit while sending the copies of degrees from my end?

2) Where did you upload the LOE and same name affidavit that you have shown above?

Thanks in advance.
Hi bhavleen

Hope you are doing good ! Actually I am asking here for my sister. Her name on the education certificate has her and our father's surname while the passport has her name,our father's surname plus husband's surname. I went through alot of threads and what I could understand was that

1) she needs to create wes profile as per her passport name and wherever education details are asked she should put the name as per her degree. Is that correct ? Also She is the primary applicant applying under EE.

2) Post ITA stage she should attach LOE and affidavit explaining the situation. That is what she needs to follow right ?

Waiting for your response !

Thanks

I have the same query. Did anyone get any problem?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
In my case I tried to contact Wes to issue me a new report .they said that's the way name is stored in their database. so they didn't give me a new report. So I just made a same name person affidavit and explain in the LOE. let's see.

Hi,

I have filled WES with name on Degree certificate which is pooja s thakur
But in passport it is expanded name for 's'.
So when ECA evaluation report it is pooja s thakur which is different from name on passport.

Will it be a problem in later process?
It will be really helpful if I can get some suggestion on how to proceed further.

In this case affidavit for same name is the possible option.

Hi,
Do they consider this as a second name? Do we need to fill anything in the known by other name boxes?
Thank you

Hi Guys, I went thru this thread however, I am still confused. Actually, I need to file WES for my wife. She has just First name in her Academic certificate. However, In her Passport, She has First Name and Last Name (Last name was added after marriage). So My question is when creating a WES profile for her then Do I need to mention Name as per Passport? If yes then What document I should provide to WES in support of telling them that She doesn't have any Last name on her Academic certificate. Please help me out here if anyone faced same issue.
