@Anna ********
Are you asking for a teacher's license, or a Non-B visa? I believe the embassy doesn't check if the degree is valid or not. I know KSP does check on the validity of degrees.
Can you post the information you found for us? Things may have change, and my in-laws aren't at work right now so I can't ask them for information.
Hopefully the information you received was from the embassy, I know
