what all is sent in the package?
i sent my Degree's main Certificate, and the Mark sheets for 3 years. (all notorized only)
yes, the notary public, did scrutinize it well, by viewing/matching with the Originals.
the ques arises-
1. do we need to send the Original certificates only
2. if yes, that too in the Envelopes?
3. is the main Degree certi and the mark sheets okay, or other docs like fees receipts, attendance sheets also r needed?
4. last but not the least, as u said, fake certi. can be had, now,
for this matter, how do the VO in India, get the Certificates verified?
im sure majority of us wud want to knw abt it.
- Degree certificates are whatever is requested in your visa specific checklist.
London, for example, does not ask for original certificates and in the paragraph at the front says any non-originals should be notarized, so for London it should be:
Degree certificate = notarized copy
Degree transcript (marksheets) = original in a sealed University envelope
However you will need to consult your own visa specific checklist to confirm what they want, however I would think most are the same.
If you sent only a notarized copy of your degree transcript then they can fail you on this. Alternatively they may be lenient and accept a notarized copy or they may send a letter asking for the originals to be sent (in which case you might be able to get your University to send them directly to the VO).
