Hi, I won't actively be looking for a job until mid-September, but in doing some research into what the process entails and what I can do now to prepare, I checked out my local consulate's info on Visas. On this page, they list the required documents:

http://www.kcgboston.org/english/index_visa2.asp

It says that for all Visas, you send your passport, application and photo (all of which I already knew), but then lists additional documents that are required for specific types of Visas. For the E-2 it asks for:

*Certificate of academic degree or diploma of graduation

*Employment contract

*Documents regarding establishment of school or organization

*Letter of personal reference notarized

In particular, I'm wondering about the notorized personal reference. I'm also confused about them asking for the diploma, because I was under the impression that the diploma, among other things, would be sent to my employer in Korea once I sign a contract. Are these all things that will be provided by the school once I've accepted a position? Will I even need to provide any of those things to the consulate once I've sent the necessary documents to my employer? Thanks!

you can send a diploma to the consulate and ask them to give u so many notarized copies...they charge for each..and they are just as good to give a school thereby keeping your original diploma at home...get a few sealed transcripts before you leave from ur uni...so u will have them.never know when u might want them fast...
