Just got a reply from immigration on it's Q&A forum:

welcome to the korea imigration service website.
the criminal background report have to issue from the federal government or state government or the respective embassy of the E2visa holders or applicants.
the criminal record check, confirmed documents by Apostille should be submitted.
if E2 visa applicant is from those countries which didn't join the Apostille Agreement, he may have his documents certified by korean Embassy in his country.
the korea immigration service do not approve the criminal record check
issue from a privately-run criminal check system, for example an online site.
thank you. |

:Original question
Can someone in immigration officially confirm or deny what Mr Lee Dong Wook of Korean immigration has stated the following in Korean Times on December 27th
"If he is uncomfortable with the local police station, he can use a privately-run criminal check system, for example an online site (http://www.criminalbackgroundrecords.com), although he may be charged up to $59.95."
Many thanks, |

Dumbest freaking bunch of idiots ever.
Okay, did anyone actually try this? The answer may not always match reality. |

| Also, the questions should have included the affidavit portion of the statement. So the question is a bit flawed. Of course they won't accept something printed out and brought in. It could be different if it has the embassy stamp of sworn affidavit from the consular at the US embassy. |

You're probably right I should have included the affidavit portion in my question, but even if I had every immi officer seems to want to give a different answer anyway, so at the end of the day the only way to find out is apply and see what happens. |
