 Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 7:38 pm Post subject: Getting apostilles back from GEPIK/SMOE |
 |
|
Hi,
I�m currently a GEPIK teacher and next year I will be working with SMOE. I got my degree and criminal record check apostilled for GEPIK last year and now my recruiter is telling me that I need to go through the process again and that it is GEPIK�s policy not to give back apostilles. Has anyone ever succeeded in getting an apostille back from GEPIK? (or SMOE?) Or has anyone ever written a letter requesting it back? I really don�t see why they need to hold on to it.
Also they are asking me to do the criminal record check which seems quite silly because ever since I did that check I have been in Korea so how can I have possibly committed a crime in Australia? |

GEPIK doesn't have it.
They are submitted to immigration and they are the ones who keep it.
You will need to get new ones for a new visa.

In that case has anyone ever tried writing to immigration? I don't see why I should have to apostille my degree again as it is the same document that it was last year. |

Maybe I just got really lucky, but noone from SMOE has ever asked to see my degree, lol...
(which is good because I didn't get a stamped copy from the consulate, just dragged my original with me...) |

| Never tried to get an apostille back. Doubt it would happen though. |
