Where from attest my Graduation Degree to Change profession in Saudi Arabia?

• I am a Pakistani living in Saudi Arabia, I am in Saudi Arabia with a work visa and my profession on my Iqama (Saudi identity document for expatriates) is labor (عامل) although I am a computer science graduate and working in computer department of my current employer. According to Saudi Government law for non-Saudi to get a family visa for him, He needs to present an attested graduation degree.
  I consulted the lawyers and they advised me to get my Graduation Degree attested by Saudi Culture office and Saudi embassy in Pakistan. But getting a document attested by Saudi embassy in Pakistan is not easy, one of the lawyers told me that if I get my graduation degree attested by
  
  -Pakistani foreign office
  -Pakistani embassy in Saudi Arabia
  -Saudi Foreign office in Saudi Arabia
  
  Then I don't need to get my degree attested from Saudi Embassy in Pakistan. Then I did attest my degree from Pakistani foreign office and Pakistani consulate in Jeddah, but when I went to attest it from Saudi Foreign office in Jeddah, they refused to do that and told me that I must attest this degree from Saudi Embassy in Pakistan. Am I guided right...?
