I have a job and I need to go through the Visa process. I think I can work my way through most of the things. Today I'm going to try to get the Criminal background check aspect started.

The question I have is about the "reference."

It is so general, and it is thrown in there, but I'm not sure what they want for that. Any help would be great.

depends on where you are applying to work.

IF you are applying to a hakwon, it is meaningless.
If you are applying to a PS, then it could be just a character reference OR
if you are claiming experience (for a level up) it would have to be documentation/proof of your classroom experience.
IF you are applying to a university, it would probably be academic or professional references.

i think he's referring to the new requirement for E-2 applicants to submit a notarized "letter of reference" with their visa documents to the consulate. this doesn't seem to be something even previous holders can get out of. i am a bit unfamiliar with this addition, but will be calling the appropriate offices tomorrow to find out the specifics of the reference. OP - if you haven't heard anything new by then, i'll post their response.
