 Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 11:39 pm Post subject: Re-signing a contract with EPIK |
 |
|
I am re-signing a new contract with EPIK this December. I will be staying at the same high school. If I re-sign in December, do I go to immigration to get my E2 Visa renewed and since it is December, 2010 I will not have to submint a FBI criminal background check? It appears that the new requirements are a little confusing and just trying to get some clairification on this issue.
Thanks! |

You will need:
1. A new, notarized CRC (federal level)
2. Another medical check
3. All of the forms from your school (business license, other bs papers re: renewing for a year), the app, ARC, etc...
You take it all in to Immi with the new contract, wait about 15 minutes and the back of your ARC is stamped. |
So, for RENEWALS at the SAME SCHOOL, ANOTHER MEDICAL CHECK? Are you sure? I don't think so. |

| I went on the Immigration website and read the new rules. It stated that if you were here before July 2009, that the new rules did not apply. So I called to question what was written and they told me that if I was renewing at the same school with no changes being made to my Visa and this is my 3rd year at that school, that all I would need is my new contract and the basics, they are not requiring the federal level background check for renewals until 2012 for those teachers in this particular circumstance. I also read on Dave's website, two other people who are in the same circumstance and they were told the same thing by Immigration. I think we will still need the medical check though... |

| Well, another medical check just so I can renew at the same school is news to me. I haven't heard anything about having to have another medical check for a renewal. This is REALLY getting nutty. |

| I am not sure about the medical check, to be honest, I didn't think to ask. Usu.ally, my school does one for medical insurance purposes. I'd call Immigration and ask if you really want to know. |

| I can confirm this. My high school admin contacted immigration this week and the official said that E2 teachers re-signing do not need to follow the new procedures for degrees or background checks for another year. |
I was also told that by my administrator. I renew in April. But I will need it next yr. |
