It shud not take longer then 2 weeks as Royal mail takes 8 working days to deliver a parcel. Call HSMP office and ask them to track. Also go to your local Pakistan Post office as they recieve these parcels from UK Royal mail for delivery.

Hope you get it soon.

Hello there,

I confirm that HO only give points to the academic degree awarded as of Bachelors or Masters. One of my friend did not get any points out of his PGD. Also its good that your Bachelor is equivalent to British. So for sure, you will only get 15 points.
