i had an interview with EPIK about 2 weeks ago and was offered a place teaching in seoul. i sent off my documents for apostillisation last week but havent had them back, and contacted the FCO, and was told that they might have been lost. it will take another 3 weeks or so to get the documents in order again and get them apostilled. is this likely to be a problem for me securing my job in seoul? i dont want to lose the position by taking a long time to send off visa documents.

thanks in advance

I may have a similar. problem. My diploma may have been "misplaced". I have plenty of time though because I don't have a job offer yet. Good luck.

It's good to hear you have gotten them back, as opposed to haven't had them back. It's a step in the right direction.
