Degree
I had a good education here in the UK but left my UK University before graduating for various reasons. It is something I wish I'd completed but that was 30 years ago.
Now I see that you can buy on-line degrees. I know that they are "phoney" and you do not have to study to get one, but I was wondering If I did buy one and stated that I had a degree on any immigration or official US forms, would that be a serious/punishable offence ?
I know these degrees effectively only allow you to put letters after your name and will not allow you to use them for admission to further education purposes, but I don't know if I could get in trouble on Immigration forms if I stated that I had one.
Any ideas ?

didnt know you could pay for degree's on-line. you just have to love the internet.
is this to do with LC? or is it for visa application purposes. you must have lots of yrs experience. shouldnt matter if you are applying for a visa.

Re: Degree
Why don't you just go to your nearest university or an on-line university and see how many more credits you will need to finish your degree. It could work out cheaper to finish off your credits and get a credited degree rather than one that isn't worth the paper it is written on.

Re: Degree
Like Gross50 said, you must have a lot of experience. Why wish for a
degree unless you really need that title? Even then, nowadays, there
are so many online degree programs and they are so easy to study, I am
sure that you can earn a degree very easily. Check that out first and
see how many credits you can get.
If you don't need it, why bother? I know someone who didn't finish his
Electrical Engineering degree (almost done) because he got sick of
being laid off and so went and got a finacial management license,
worked for a financilal company as a broker and eventually opend his
own business and is doing VERY well now. His father is a missionary
but he is a staunch capitalist.
