Atif,
Many congratulations !!!
i have also applied for 176 & have query.
For Degree attestation, i believe you got attestation from HEC. What was the procedure?? Did HEC sent one copy of your attested degree directly to Australian embassy ISB or you sent it to CO by yourself??
Because in my case, HEC sent all attested copies to me & i have sent it to CO. After that i don't heard anything from CO.

In my case CO asked for attestation from HEC and advice that AHC will collect same from them and after verification send back to me. So I submit documents to HEC and after 2 months got back from AHC.
