According to the above link, both your original degree and notarized copies need to be sent to the Korean consulate for your E2 visa.
I've called countless times to confirm this, but always get a busy signal.
I would really rather not send my original, I thought that was the point of getting a notarized copy.
Can somebody set me straight? |

This has been standard for many years for consulates in Canada. I had to do it as well, a few years ago. No problem, got all documents returned. As far as I'm aware, a Korean Consulates have never stolen, lost, or defaced anyone's parchment.
Send your documents with confidence. |

| Ok, but what's the purpose of getting it copied and notarized then. I worked in Korea for 5 years and never had to part with my diploma if I remember correctly. I do remember getting notarized copies before though. |

| I'm sure you had to part with your degree at some point if you have been teaching here for 5 years, unless you did everything in person rather than by post. |

The consulate wants to see your original and transcripts as part of the "certification" process
The copy you have from the notary is certified to be a "true copy" but is not guaranteed to be an authentic degree.
The embassy/consulate verifies the authenticity of your degree copy through the use of your original (embossed seals and signatures) and transcripts.
