Excellent info on the stamping, crimping, notarizing and blessing off on the degrees and such. You should point that out a little more to folks, I think that is the best rundown on that issue I have seen.

You ever see those wax seals Kings used to use in the old days? (I mean, according to the movies anyway). We should start a business here with wax seals, the authorities would go nuts over them, it would be a whole new industry, and we would be the creators of this new must have officializin.

Thanks, Mark. If it's useful and interesting (and even humorous), then it's doing what I hoped it would do.

All, the link Mark is talking about is http://saigonalive.blogspot.com/2010/09/step-3-documentation-before-you-leave.html .

It's geared toward people from the US. It's really a step-by-step process, kind of like executing a computer code. You can game the system, so to speak, but that introduces bugs into the program. I wish everything here were that logical, now that I think about it, but then it wouldn't be what it is, would it?
