Comments on this High Commission
Hi,
I have a graduation degree (B.Sc. Medical Imaging) from University of Bradford. I obtained this degree through Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre which is affiliated with the University of Bradford (UK) for B.Sc. (Hons) in Medical Imaging since 2007.
I need to get this degree attested by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan.
In order to get the attestation from them, they want me to first get this degree attested by British High Commission in Islamabad.
Please guide me about the process for getting my degree legalised from British High Commission in Pakistan and how much time should be expected for this process.
Wa Alaykumu Salaam
I will send an email now and update what has happened
processing time has nothing to do with a visa being granted or refused. Some applicants are refused after 2 months, some after 3 months. Same with granted visas, some are granted after 2 months some after 3 months, I know someone last year, his wife's visa was granted after 6 months!
dont forget there have also been 4 bank holidays since as well so expect at least week or twos delay
There are 13 weeks in my three months because some months have 5 weeks!
1 months = 4 weeks
2 months = 8 weeks
3 months = 12 weeks
1 week = Mon-Fri (5 working days)
It's normally takes between 60-70 working days from the point of application. Hope this clears you concern :)
If it takes more than 12weeks/3 months then are the applications mostly refused? Are the successful ones done within 3 months?.... or is this not true?
I have never heard of anyone whose application took over 3 months and was successful.
Has anyone heard of anyone who got there visa after the 3 months??
Allah khair garein!
I am a little confused in some places it states it will take 12 weeks and others it says 3 months? There is a difference so not sure which is correct!
Asalaamalaykum
