I need urgent information on how to get my sealed transcripts from a university in South Africa. As you all know the whole university system was totally reshuffled a few years ago. I got my degree before the great shuffle. Now the university I got my degree from no longer exists by that name. It is now part of the University of Limpopo and they don't seem very willing to help me. Any thoughts on this???
Also, if you are still in the planning stages of coming to South Korea to teach, DON'T let a recruiter or anyone talk you into coming over and start working without your E2 visa. Another good idea is to read the South African Embassy in South Korea's webpage before you make a final decision. I didn't do these things and am now paying the price.
This morning I also ran into another Saffie who was brought over with a NDip!!!! Now he can't get the E2 visa he needs to work legally and he has been fined about R10 000.00 by Immigration and has to pay for his flight back. If he doesn't pay the fine, he will be placed in a detention centre until he can pay for his own deportation. He will also be blacklisted. How true his story is, I can't say, but I have good reason to believe him.
So please make sure you have everything you need BEFORE coming out here. |
