The delay experienced by large number of Indian expatriates in Kuwait for getting their educational certificates verified by the Kuwaiti authorities is not from the Kuwaiti side and instead the delay is caused by the various universities in India, informed Kuwait Ambassador to India HE Sami Al Sulaiman. In his letter to HE Sunil Jain, the Kuwait Ambassador in Delhi informed that the Kuwait Embassy sends large number of certificates every week to various universities and institutions all over India for verification process. However getting reply from these universities is a cumbersome process and many times these universities don’t respond with proper information. This often causes the delay in verification of educational certificates by the Kuwait Ministry.
