Does anyone think that's going to be a problem with immi? I don't mind sacrificing my original BA certificate because the real original was lost by my other Korean employer before.

I had my originals done because a place was asking for that on their advert then had a doh moment and realised I'd made a fail.

I think I remember reading somewhere that originals were even better than copies, but most people use copies since they don't wanna risk losing their actual diploma. Don't quote me on that, but that's what I heard, so I think you should be fine.

I think it should be fine but immigration is probably going to keep it and be unable to return it to you.

The issue is not original of your degree with the apostille or a copy with an apostille but the simple fact that whatever you submit to Kimmi will be gone forever.

Kimmi requires a copy with an apostille (since they will not return it) but if you are fine losing your duplicate with an apostille then they will accept it.

Yup that's ok, the duplicate of my original cost �30 and getting a photocopy and apostille would cost �40 altogether so I think I'll just sacrifice my BA certificate.
