Hi hiftikhar,
Nice to know ur in NY, so am I. About your problem...I am not so sure because I never really came across someone in the same situation as yours. I think they might still treat you as they treat the foreign students with US Citizenship, and calculate your subject grades like they do for the rest of us. However, if you want to apply to Pakistan MEDICAL schools, then it's crucial for your admission that you take Physics. I'd recommend that you take a physics course and pass it during the summer or some time before you apply.
If, however, they don?t consider you a foreign student because of this Citizenship problem, then you?ll have to go to Pakistan with your current grades-all records of high school grades & college grades, and then you?ll have to take a test for whatever school or college/university you want to apply for. Your score on that test will determine what level they should put you at. Almost all the people I know, who went to Pakistan and applied to school from there, had to take the test- and on top of that, they were placed 1 to 2 years back?sometimes even 3 years back, because as they call it, ?our public school education is not at the level of their schooling.? Since you?re not a US Citizen, and you want to apply to med school, they might ask you to come to Pakistan and like everyone else there, take the entrance exam. Now the thing is?foreign students with US citizenship don?t have to take the entrance exam?but you?ll have to if you go and apply from there. I will stress again, that if you?re applying for medical college, whether you do it as foreign student or end up going there to take entrance exam, you must have taken physics in order to gain admission.
I am sure someone else on this site can better assist you. If you have questions about the equivalency of the marks, you can visit the Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen website, or call them up to ask specific questions.
