 Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:09 am Post subject: Original Degree or Diploma |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm due to be teaching at a Hagwon from the 1st August 2012 in Bucheon. The problem is that I have been told to bring my original degree or diploma certificate so that they (the Hagwon) can register it with the local education office.
I know this is at my parents home (who live 100 miles away) but they cannot find it. I haven't got it either.
I've been in touch with my university and they say that it will cost me �35 for a replacement certificate and cannot print it until late July or the beginning of August (when I'm in Korea). The university are sending me a letter to confirm that I have been awarded a degree and the grade along with the dates I attended.
I have also got copies of my degree certificate which have been notarised/apostilled. Plus, I have got the original transcripts from my university.
Will this be sufficient? I might not have the original certificate but I have got evidence that I have been awarded my degree. I've been in touch with my recruiter to let them know about my situation.
I applied for my E-2 Visa at the Korean Embassy in London yesterday and I should get my passport back next week so no problems there.
Will this cause many problems?
Thanks,
Brez |

Did you not have to bring in your original degree to the emabassy when you applied for you visa? Apparently I will have to send off both my original and notarised copy of my diploma which I'm not too keen.
If you did, then maybe it's still there? |

At the embassy in London yesterday, I was not asked to provide this information. I got my visa number the other day and put this on my application form.
I supplied a photo and some subsequent forms for the E-2, gave them a pre-paid envelope for them to post my passport to me. The woman at the embassy asked for �80 (US$125) and gave me a bit of paper which was stamped as a receipt. I was told that my passport will be back with me next Thursday.
I'm in the UK and procedures may vary slightly if you're from the US, Canada, etc. |

an apopstilled copy will suffice for registration at the local education office as well as meet the MOE requirements.

Thanks for the confirmation. However, I have one more question. When I sent my school my docs, will they (the school) get them back from the immigration department?

No, immigration will keep the hard copies that you sent...
But YOU can ask at immigration for immigration made copies (300 won per page) that will also suffice for purposes of registration at the POE/MOE.
