Ways of expressing a mistake
Another Homer Simpson moment 'Doh! I left out my CIMA exam results in that express pack to the ICAA, because of which my PASA application has been awaiting information for almost a week now.
But hold on, it may be a week before that in the middle of the ten days of Muharram. That's because the nice postal workers had given me an expected time frame of 25 days, which was grossly overstated. Having mailed it out the same day as the email requesting additional documentation on the 27th last month, just nine days ago, I found out a day after couriering the documents that the mail was received.
So unless OCS was super fast and over-nighted it without updating their tracking status, the Pakistan Post (Rs. 40) was pretty quick and their staff should have more faith in their services.
So another Rs. 1,280 have been needlessly spent. I hope that its not the whole Rs. 30k, but it was always worth a try, especially since there's no looking back.
Maula TUS dua and the duas of his servants will get me through sooner or later, of that I am sure.
I tried all the silly things possible, but of course they didn't work. In the end I had to go and get the paper attested, put it in an envelope and courier it today on Tahir Saifuddin RA Maula's milad.
Fedex quoted Rs. 4,000 and a 5% discount so I said goodbye. Then I saw OCS had a student package and since the ICAA sounds academic, I was able to convince them that this had to do with academia (not a complete lie).
So that only set me back another Rs. 1,280, which is still 500 less than Pakistan Post's Express Mail Service and possibly only a day or two earlier due to the weekend gap.

Considering that the package reaches on Monday or Tuesday, final assessment details will then be due by mid-December or the end of the year, not before Syedna Hatim's Urus on 16th Muharram, considering there are no more interruptions.
