Hello,

My partner is graduating from University in May of 2006. Unfortunately, their diploma cannot be printed and delivered until August 2006.

Optimistically, we are projecting to teach English in South Korea by, approximately, July 15, 2006.

My partner's university can supply a notarized letter on their behalf, signed by the dean, officially stating university studies have been completed and a BA has been earned. This letter can be produced in lieu of an official diploma until the original diploma has been printed, sent and received.

Provided the Korea Consulate's notarized stamps, would this qualify to secure employment as an English teacher in South Korea.

Moreover, would this form even be accepted by the Korean consulate?

Any thoughts or insights would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe they will only accept a notarized copy of the diploma or the original (which you should never send). Just call your local Korean consulate and ask to be absolutely sure.

They used to accept stuff like this. Things are pretty bad now and Korea is paranoid. I think your friend will have to wait.
