 |
|
So I have:
Reckless driving misdemenor
Drinking in public misdemenor
An obstruction of justice..plead guilty, now dismissed after i did my probation and community service.
Can I get an e-2 again or am I SOL? Who can I call/write and get an answer? Are you guys tired of these e-2 questions already? |

It seems to me that with those offences, you'd fit right into Korean society 
Seriously though, follow the other poster's idea of getting your record check from another state. |

I know, right?
Thanks for the idea guys, i will look into going to another state for the check. I've only been a resident of one state, can i just go to another state and get all that stuff done? Is the loophole that big? That would be sweet. |

| i think thats what makes the whole thing ridiculous, i do think its that easy to sidestep. i think its a big deal because i doubt a school would hire you if they know about any crimes. the ones you mention dont fit into the e2 restrictions, so it technically shouldnt matter but a school probably wouldnt take you. youre not in direct violation of the e2 reqs so i dont see any problem. id be interested to know how it works out, definately feel free to PM me with whatever you find out. |

| no but the gist of it is nothing violent or sexual towards children and no drug use. |

| Why would these charges affect your e2 status? Makes no sense at all. |

Per the regulations (available at http://www.hikorea.go.kr):

| Exceptions are made if the nature of the crime is light and does not affect their ability as a teacher |

Move to Canada.
Get a tourist visa.
Come work here with no worry about E-2 visa restrictions for 6 months at a time. |
