I have been looking into this criminal background check thing for some time now...I've managed to dig up some information, both with my consulate here in Canada...and one website in particular that has been helpful...
anyways, I have a criminal record...non-violent misdemeanor...I thought this would screw me in the application of my visa but it hasn't so far...
heres the info i got from ESL planet...
What on my criminal background check will prevent me from getting an E2 visa?
It is ok.. a speeding ticket will not disqualify you.
What will disqualify you is:
* any drug related offence
Yes that is right! If you were caught hiding a joint in your high school locker, you will not be given an E2 visa. There is a zero tolerance with drug related offences.
* any sex related offence
Anything at all here..ZERO ZERO tolerance
* Any violence related offence
Any crime relating to a violence matter diqualifies you from getting a visa
* any jail term
If you have been to jail for a crime, you will be ineligible for an E2 visa...for anything..jail means no visa!

I am almost positive the Korean Government would refuse Jack Abramoff an E2 Visa.

They won't recant regarding them, but they may make some changes over time. It will as always be to little to late.  |
