 |
|
A friend is applying for a job - been offered the job. And now, she finds her BA is probably in a box in a relative's basement, but her MA original is in her hot little hands. Is she going to have a problem getting all the final paperwork done? Anyone out there with experience with this type of problem? She, of course, wants to get everything done quickly. She's in Japan, so can't get to her BA easily.
Thanks. |

| I would not be surprised if she had a problem. Unless she needs the MA, I would just use the MA and say it is her "degree". She does not need to say, "This is my MA, but I lost my BA or cannot get to it now..." This will just confuse people. Just say, "Here is my diploma." |

This is, in fact, what happened to me. And doing this worked just fine-- the people giving you a work visa don't care what type of degree you have.

I don't know where my bac. diploma is, either, so I used my master's. No problems getting the visa, but Immigration or some Education official apparently had queries once I was here, and my boss asked for my bac. diploma. When I explained that my master's was higher than a bac., and that one has to have a bac. to get a master's, things were smoothed out.
My master's diploma is in Latin, that complicated things. |

Yes, I once had to translate a diploma from Latin to English for immigration. |
