Immi wants to see whether you've put in 4 years of study. Part of screening out unqualified and all that.

Is the AA part of your 4 year BA? If so, it makes sense. If not, ask immi again why.

The courses I took for my AA are in my BA transcripts for they transferred over.
I'm just curious about it is all. I'm not upset but I am simply wondering.

Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Ever since I came to K-land... Immi had me 11 steps toward the door... but a couple of 'one shots' with Mr. Kim seems to have fixed that problem... and put him on his ass... while at the same time, having to pay 'blood money' to some other K.

Please don't enable me. Wink

I think... like... maybe I heard from a friend of my sister-in-law's, second cousin who met a guy in a bar that I don't need a degree to teach English in K-land. Is this true?

If this friend said so it depends...... if this friend posts on Dave's then believe it but if they don't post on Dave's proceed with caution.

Yeah I know. I am going to do it of course. It's a pain though. I had to contact my community college to get them over to Korea before my expiration arrives for my Apostille. I was curious about it because the several times I have come to Korea I was never once asked for them.
