Background

I have already completed my bachelors degree in the US, but now I live in Europe. I got admissions to a masters degree program in Austria and they require legalization of all the documents of previous education and birth certificate.

I have been (actually I sent someone) to the Ministry of Education in Abuja for legalization of my WAEC and NECO GCE (external candidate) results, but they claim they cannot provide eligibility letter unless I have testimonial from my secondary school.

Problem

The problem is this - in my SS2, I decided to sit the SSCE exams as external candidate and I made good grades. I decided not to return back to school since I already aced my exams. I thought to myself that if the external candidate results could get me into universities in Nigeria, then there is no need for me to return and complete SS3. Since then, I used my external candidate results for admission to OAU Ife and also to university in US.

Austria

I applied to a state university in Austria and just last week, I was informed that I scored well in the admissions interview and that all my documents (including the US bachelors degree which only required Apostille stamps) are okay except the birth certificate and high school diploma which needed to be legalized in Nigeria.

Now, Ministry of Education Abuja had no problem with legalizing the WAEC & NECO certificates, only that they are unable to provide eligibility letter. I believe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also have no problem stamping the Birth, WAEC & NECO certificates, but am afraid that the Austrian embassy may not super-legalize my certificates if they do not see eligibility letter despite that I already have WASSCE as external candidate and have completed bachelors degree in USA and also attended OAU Ife for about 3 years before leaving Nigeria.

My Questions

1) Does anyone know whether the Austrian embassy doesn't really require eligibility letter? I asked the school if they need anything else, but they said NO all they needed from me is to get full diplomatic accreditation of my my birth certificate and high school diploma. I am only worried that after paying 120 thousand naira for verification, they may turn me away as not having eligibility letter.

2) Is it possible to get testimonial from my secondary school even though I left them in SS2? Can someone who left school in SS2 to sit the SSCE exam as external candidate be given testimonial?

3) I do not want to present fake documents to the embassy or to any foreign por local authorities - so I am willing to endure the pains. What advice can you good people offer me please?

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

issue solved. thanks
