But save us your lecture on logic. batleykhan, I agree that ECOs have specific guidance on the cultural nu...

Yup, so are from GIKI and LUMS.

Somebody who wants to come here, needs to atleast do extensive research....I rest my case

True. That might be the case.

No you as her representative/sponsor can sign the form, as it is you who is appealing on your wifes behalf Agreed. Though i find this strange Mr. B., as when I downloaded the form from the AIT website for the appeal of my wife, and submitted it, I got a letter from the AIT to submit the correct, ne...

UET, both Taxila and Lahore, LUMS and GIKI have equivalent degrees as per NARIC. I was a little surprised though that IBA is not included in the list.

So, in this case no body from Pakistan holding Pakistani Masters degree will be elligible. This will be a major major change. That is not entirely true. Although I am not Pakis...

I hope the further political in-fighting doesn't cause further delays Islamabad! Not really, because the BHC is already transitioning most of the applications to Abu Dhabi, and in the very near future, all the applications will be handled from Abu Dhabi. So, let the bombs rock Islamabad :P Your app...
