Has anyone else come across this problem. I do not have my original diploma. I do have a copy of it however.

When I apply for my E-2 Visa is a notarized copy valid since I will also be getting it Apostillized?

I had one recruiter tell me a copy was fine and another tell me that for Private Schools I need my orginial Diploma.

I am trying to find out who is right.

I did request a duplicate of my Diploma but my University said it could take up to month to receive.

I'd like to get all my Visa documents ready as soon as possible.

I have not gone to Korea yet but to my knowledge, a notarized and apostilled copy (must be notarized before being apostilled) suffices. I would not want to give my original degree to my employer.
