| Just wondering and I couldn't really answer him. I am assuming it will hinder his job search but not altogether rule it out. Anyone? |

| Not to steal your thunder, but along the same lines.. is there a criteria of what on a background check will disqualify someone? |

The policy in Korean immigration and offices of education is that all CRC of prospective teachers to Korea must be completely clean.
A year or so ago there was a little flexibility for some minor offences with some getting accepted randomly, but more recently there certainly seems to be zero chance of acceptance if you have anything showing even if you were 17 years old at the time and the charges were dismissed. EPIK actually explain on their forms that any drink or alcohol offence or DUI is out !
If something shows the answer is NO |

| Easiest way to get around the DUI, I believe, would be to get your criminal background check from a state OTHER THAN the one in which you got your DUI. |

| I love how posters on here will advise people how to bypass criminal background checks, drug tests, mental illnesses, and getting fake degrees. Then they complain about how unfair it is that NETs have such bad reputations. One of these days, if you were ever to have children, I'm sure you'd be thrilled that someone told their teachers how to bypass background security checks. |

Don't you have anything better to do than pa[troll] Dave's? |

| I agree wtih Madoka. It seems a bit unfair in a way. In the UK, you can only get one type of criminal record check - there's no escaping your past. Yet in America (maybe Canada?) all you have to do is cross the state line. I'm surprised that Korea hasn't asked that all US checks are national rather than state. |

I'm surprised too...but from what I understand...they dont like the FBI checks because they're not official looking enough...
I imagine it will happen...this was the first year that they REALLY started enforcing the state background check rather than accepting the local one.
Also..could you imagine the chaos of EVERYONE who works in Korea (from the United States) wanting to get their CRC from the FBI? If that were the case I think I would be back in the states still waiting for my documents to arrive! |

| What about a failure to appear? It's been close to 6 years ago since it was taken care of, 6 months probation, nothing big. This was before I even went to college, and I have not had any trouble since. |

Jdunca 12 --- No such thing as not too big or not too small for the offence recorded on a CRC.
To a Korean immigration officer reading your CRC, failure to appear would say more about your character and punctuality than maybe a person with a random 'drinking as a minor' and "but .... Its not my fault as I was pressured by my peers' plea may do. |

| I love how some people on this forum are so judgmental. That is the only offence he has EVER HAD, and that was many years ago. He hasn't committed any offense since. I believe a CRC is a good idea, but they need to understand when it happened and what the person has been doing since then. Furthermore, many nationals drink and drive (not that two wrongs make a right). |

The opinion of people on this site doesn't matter. What does matter is Immigration's opinion which very likely will be that your friend can not teach here regardless of the circumstances. |

This concept is not beyond the reaches of my feeble mind, I was just hoping my question would have been met with straight answers and not simple condescension. |
