    Thanks holdyourcolour.

    Also it would be great if someone who has applied to a postgraduate Uni or a job in US could give some tips on how he/she converted their degrees officially and what organisation they used.

    thanks

    You can use a company like josef silny to officially convert your degree to us equivalents. This company is recognised by a number of schools and organizations including the us governments. its costs around $200 depending on the days you want it to be completed, and whether you want extra copies and gpa equivalents. you just to send a copy of your official transcript. I have used them and it the service was easy to use. the website is www.jsilny.com there are other companies that offer similar service like wes educational. hope this helps
