Has anyone received their documents back stating that his/her college was not recommended? Any suggestions on what I should do?

Hi,

I'm currently undergoing the SACM degree verification process in the US. In order to properly answer your concern, I have a couple questions:

1. What is your major?
2. Is your degree web-based and/or from an online college?

Update:

SACM verified both my Master and PhD degrees (they're from the same university).

The Saudi authorities aren't too thrilled with online colleges/degrees, particularly due to bad experiences with ESL instructors. That may be the reason why your "college was not recommended".
