Congrats for finally receiving a positive reply. The 6 months timeline sounds frustrating though. I hope your chances of getting an ITA have increased now.
This is not mine, its forwarded as I saw people discussing about SMU-DE so shared..... :rolleyes:

Although my MBA from SMU-DE was recognised as Masters too in April... . But as I am secondary applicant so its not much use....... :oops:

Yes, I don't know how it can take them 2.5 months to realize and ask for this. If the attestation is not correct as per their requirement, that is the first thing they should notice, even before starting the assessment process :O
The attestations were in line with what their website says, however they need the transcripts to be attested and that too within the past year (I already have the same attestation from 2012, though it's not required as part of their requirements) this should have been confirmed at the time of AOR2 (21st of August) when they had a month to review the documents (delivered on the 24th of July) I'm not based in my home country and will need to travel back soon to be able to process this, which comes at a substantial cost and added stress.

Dear all, my SMU MBA is accepted as master in business administration by ICAS 2 days before. Electronic copy was received by mail. But the assessment time was exactly 6 months after all the documents they received. passed out on 2007.

Forwarded ............ ....

@HK19 i had same issue 02 weeks back, i attested my docs from HEC and asked them to sign Academic Request Form as per IQAS website. They declined as only your uni can sign and stamp this form, later i went to uni they again attested my already HEC attested docs and signed the form, which took 02 extra days.
Now I am worried, I had only dispatched 01 request form for my MBA (as I supposed it would be stamped by HEC) and havent sent my BBA request form as i sent my BBA degress also attested by HEC.
my problem is that I'm not even in the country, the earliest I was to travel back home is the middle of next year. With very limited family based in Karachi, I have no choice but to go back and do this if I am to move my application forward !

@HK19 I am also out of country, send your documents through courier to Pakistan, HEC also has TCS Documents attestation facility. You can check process from both HEC and TCS website.
