To my knowlede, you need the degree, though I did hear of someone who used their teaching license. Do you mean you dont have a degree or you dont have access to the degree?

maybe try with the teaching license (this was either at the LA or New York consulate. I got mine in new york with a copy of my degree. It has to be translated as well!

If you can not get all the documents from the school why are you trying to get a work visa? You need their information first. When I got my work visa for teaching, I only showed my transcripts and they were not translated.

It was in Jan. 2008 in San Antonio Ven. Oh, I do not know if it made a difference but I also got a Padre de Hija Colombiana Visa. I think they combined the 2 and was not looking for the College degree, not really sure but I got the visa.
