(To start off with, the search function keeps taking me to a blank page for those who mention the search function!)

In a nutshell, I was planning on leaving Korea. I spent the last month out of Korea doing the Cert TESOL. It turned out I had an inner ear infection and put off doing something about it until the 3rd week. I woke up one morning and could hardly stand up and went to the hospital. Turns out the infection was getting worse and I could have lost my hearing. But I missed more classes than I was allowed and had to come straight back to Korea to desk warm. As a result, I was not able to finish. I did NOT flunk out.

Anyway, my school just asked me to re-sign for another year (I had not previously signed a contract) and did up the contract today. I have an apostilled diploma, but no criminal record check. Not having a plan B, I decided to renew and go from there. Can someone please give me some advice on the Fibbie check? If I do an emergency one with proof I sent it, will it be enough?

My co-teacher does not understand the procedure and is leaving most of it to me. So without the usual smartass comments and preachy attitudes you get here, some advice PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! Are you sure it was an ear infection? I think Korea has gotten into your brain! On the surface you hate so much about Korea...but deep down you really love it!

Now to answer your question. I'm pretty sure that you can still renew at the same school without an FBI check. But they make you sign a form promising that you will supply it to them ASAP or before 2012. Probably gonna need TTompatz on this one.
