I contacted several members of NACES to have the evaluation completed; however, they require original documents for an evaluation, sometimes directly from the institution. Unfortunately, we do not have the original diploma or transcripts because they were kept in her home in Syria, which has been bombed over the years and those buildings and home are no longer standing. Additionally, with the new President in power at the moment, there is no mail going in or out of Syria. One of the members of NACES I found: The World Education Services Inc, has a program called WES Gateway Program that can help with 7 countries that are too dangerous to retrieve original documents including Syria. I contacted them on Monday July 14, but have not heard back yet. Today I called back WES and they said that the email I used is the only way to contact that program and it sometime takes 2-3 weeks to hear back. I will continue to follow up. A Notarized Statement will be obtained from staff #1 attesting to their education. |
