Some points to be Noted:

Usually the most time consuming process is verification of degrees  from universities, few year back people or agents themselves verify the degrees and submit them to SACA due to which many fake degree holders enters in to the market of Saudi Arabia. That is way SACA take verification from universities very seriously. SACA attestation procedure is now very confidential So, it is better not to pay extra to agents for speeding up the process because they also don’t know why the attestation is delay.

Try to follow up the university and if you have contact in registrar office ask them to verify degrees as soon as possible when SACA contacts them. The normal procedure of attestation may take 2 to 4 months.
