Here is my problem ( I have already pm this question to someone else, but I will put it here also).

I will graduate by the end of this month but due to me not filling out the paper work Embarassed I will not get my diploma until FEB 09 but on my transcript it will state that I have an undergrad degree from my school.

Will the public schools accept this (transcript) or do I have to wait until FEB.?


The person that I pm does not have to reply Wink

SOL. You need the actual Degree or a notarized copy of one in order to process your visa. I don't believe it matters if it a Public school or Hagwon.

I had the same problem, but I had the dean of my college type and sign a letter on college letterhead stating I graduated and explaining that diplomas were being mailed.

I had it notarized an apostilled, sent it to the ROK and received my visa number. When the diploma actually arrives you need to show it.

That is good to here. Do you work at a public school or Hagwon? And I wonder if this was the whim of an immigration officer, and would be different with any other officer that accepts the documents.
