If you have a good resume, make a good video, and are personable, you should be fine, you WILL have to jump through hoops. But it is possible. I am 100% sure, I just got my Visa!  |

Triple007 -- Just signed up for this account so I can't initiate a PM. Could you shoot me a message if you get the chance. I just have a couple of questions. Thanks!

The problem for candidates with a criminal record is the fact that most employers are simply not willing to vouch for you when they have a pile of CV's from perfectly capable candidates sans DUI. |
This. The recruiter I went through wanted to see a scan of my CRC/CBC before sending me the contract. Schools just don't want to take the risk of trying to obtain a visa for someone with a record... It's a potential waste of time, effort, and money for them. |

| This has been my argument the entire time. It all comes down to liability. Why go through the extra hassle? Why take the extra risk of someone with a proven mistake or track record of mistakes? Especially, since they can just go to the next resume in a stack and have someone equally qualified who won't require extra time with immigration and who you can't prove uses/used bad judgment. |

Agreed. It could also damage the school's reputation if they hire some worthless drunkard who gets picked up by the SK police. I can definitely sympathize with schools that only accept candidates with a flawless CBC. |

| I have kind of the same situation I got a DUI almost 10 years ago. I know have an MA in TESOL and an MA in Education and I can't teach in Korea. Yet I worked with many people who couldn't tell me what an adjective was. I assume many of the pious people who get on here calling people criminals also have flaws. |

Are you having trouble finding an employer? Because you'll totally be able to get a visa with a 10 year old DUI on your record. Trust me.
I think you'll be able to get a job in Korea with a little persistence. |

| Yeah, I was under the impression the new law stipulated anyone with a "not-clean" background check was instantly prohibited. |

Nope. That's 100% false. I'd encourage you to keep trying. You've got two MAs and haven't made a single mistake in just under a decade. Right? I'd be willing to bet that there are a number of schools in Korea that would be elated to have you as their visa candidate. PM me if you have any further questions. |

I think I've heard of such a form! Have you asked your local AA Chapter? Isn't that Step 5? |

| what if you are looking for an F4 visa. I don't think you need a CBC for those, so if i had an arrest/not guilty for like non drug related, non violent, non sexual, then could you still get a job? |

An F4 Visa does not require a background check. However, your school may require one as a condition of employment. |

committing a minor crime 3 years ago does not make someone a criminal now. That is slander. The OP is not a criminal. He is someone who in the past committed a criminal offense. The same way someone is not referred to as a teacher if they taught one class 3 years ago. Wake up.
If you have never broken any single law in your life then please by all means stay on your high horse. But there are plenty others of us here and everywhere who know that the only reason we never got our slap on the hand is because we were not in the wrong place at the wrong time.
To the OP, look at getting it expunged. Otherwise look into China or the other countries mentioned. |
That is not slander. If anything it would be libel but not slander. Libel is written and slander is spoken. In either case, calling someone a criminal for committing a crime is not a lie its the truth and there is no defamation of any form when you tell the truth about someone.
