| Getting back to the OP.
It's a moot point now arguing about the merits of degrees, diploma mills and such, the guy is in a predicament and sadly like a lot of things in LoS regarding foreigners, he's being fed to the wolves.
A very good friend of mine was in the same situation. He had a diploma mill degree, and when the shit went down, he argued that the *degree* was from a private, unaccredited University that was registered as a foreign Institute in the UK and It operated within the law and was not illegal. So they could not accuse him of falsifying papers. He had a *degree* from a *University*.
It's whether or not they will now accept unaccredited *degrees*...
So if I was your friend, he has already submitted it once, I would submit it again and If push comes to shove, argue the same point. It's a degree from an unaccredited University. There are many out there.
By the way, my friend went on to do a Masters at a Bonafide Thai Uni on the strength of his *B.A*. So now the M.O.E. don't give a shit either, he's an M.A. and no way would they question him now.
I'm not saying it's right. I'm just telling the story. |
