| Does anyone know how to order background checks in the US from Korea? I need to order one like next week... I need to get this done ASAP... Has anyone done an online background check with E-2 visas? |

The title of your thread is not related to your question.
You can order a background check from the FBI. Go to their website and download a fingerprint form and have it filled out by a Korean police station. They will take your fingerprints. Then send it to the division that does background checks at the FBI. It costs a little but of money, but it can all be done within one month.
All information is on the FBI website. |

You can also get a check via your home state. You'll need to have fingerprints taken in Korea, and then you'll need to download forms from your home states's public safety/criminal records division. One will be the application, but I also believe you'll need to fill out some sort of waiver form that allows the office to give your record to a third party. Somehow you'll need to do the legwork of getting the record to the Secretary of State's office in your home state so you can get it apostilled. That can be you or someone you designate in the waiver. |

Does that mean we definitely *don't* need a CBC for a second year renewal? All the information I've found doesn't mention it, but my visa is up in about a month and I don't want to end up screwed. Plus, I'm going to my home country in a couple of weeks and that would be a good time to take care of that.... |

I have a similar issue but with a background check I had done in the US and notarized but need apostilled since I left for Korea before I could get that done.
I thought the US Embassy had a process by which it would do something that Korean immigration would accept for documents, but a job I'm in talks with said they recently had someone who had their CBC authenticated at the US Embassy rejected by Immigration and they couldn't help her get it through..... |

Because the U.S. is party to the Apostille Treaty, verifiaction of a CRC by a consulate is meaingless to Kimmi (with regard to an E-2).
Confusion probably lies in the fact Canada is not party to the treaty; and Canadian citizens are required to swear a Statutory Declaration (= $) as to the authenticity of the document at the embassy in Seoul or the consulate in Busan. |
