Foreign affairs!

after what happened at the Sindh "Education" department i really did not know what to expect at our next destination... the ministry of foreign affairs...

to our utmost surprise... from the time we entered to the time we exited we must have spent barely 10 minutes in the tiny building next to FTC... and i mean 10 minutes in total both depositing and having it collected back...!!!

infact we spent longer sitting there after depositing the degree relaxing in the waiting area, in order to recuperate from our experience back at the secretariat... :-)

khair all in all... the process was simple... we bought stamps worth 25 rupees at one window, went inside and stuck em on the back of the degree and then gave it to a man in another window who gave a slip specifying the date of time of collection i.e. a day later... that was it....

the next day we went there by bus and within 2 minutes voila! we had our attestation from the ministry of foreign affairs... no hassles... no bribes... no arguments.... it just did not seem like a government office at all :-/...

well hats off to them folks there... sure made the process simple... unless u r as finicky as i am u will be really pleased by the system there.... well once we were done with that it was off to the uae consulate for the final step in our attestation....!
