|
|
I started school yesterday after successfully jumping through all the hoops in the new E-2 visa requirements.
However being a British citizen, I was told by the foreign office that they do not apostile/certify copies of criminal checks but only the originals.
So having sent my original criminal check all signed and apostiled to immigration I have just been informed by my co-teacher that I can't get it back
It took over 3 months and close to $200 to get it in the first place only to be told I cant get it back. Surely, like a degree certificate, it is my property on loan to prove I abide by certain criteria set by the K gov. and therefore should be entitled to it back.
A couple of q's I have are:
1. do you think I can or should get it back.
2. Do you think the K gov will demand a new one every year?
Any one with knowledge or experience who can help is much appreciated.
thanks |

1. No. It's part of your application.
2. Yes. Because Kimmi are morons. |

Why not get it back from the hagwon owner?
I mean the money. |

I am assuming he works at a public school and not a hagwon because of his use of the word "co-teacher"
Good luck getting the money back from them. |

There would be no real benefit in getting the criminal record check back from immigration because the new procedures state that the CRC must have been done no more than 3 months ago. |
