 |
|
Im just wondering, I had a dispute with my boss and pulled a midnight run recently. Wondering from some of the resident experts on the site, TTomplatz etc. if my boss can create problems for me if apply for another visa.
Im in my home country now and my boss told my other co-worker that he was going to try and stop me from getting another E2 Visa. Im hoping to return to Korea in a month or two so wondering if my boss can create problems for me?
I think he's talking nonsense. My understanding is that Immi don't care about disputes between teachers and employers. There only concern is whether I broke the law, ie. didn't leave if my visa was cancelled, worked somewhere else whilst on the same E2 visa etc. but would be good for my mind to be put at ease. I don't want any nasty suprises such as a potential new school applying for a visa for me and getting told about me leaving my last school.
Thanks. |

He can only create a problem if he files a criminal complaint against you. He cannot do that without having actual evidence. The police department the prosecutor's office will not accept a complaint absent evidence.

Your former boss is full of bluster.

You're correct. He's talking nonsense.
Now, you must have had a reason for leaving without notice. How long had you worked there? If you were there longer than six months and he was mucking with your pay, you can file a complaint against him at the Labor Board. If he was taking money from you for the pension plan but not depositing it--or even just not participating in the pension plan--you can file a complaint against him at the Pension Office. If he was playing games with the taxes, you can fix that at the Tax Office.
In short, you can make his life a lot more difficult than anything (which is nothing) he can do against you. |

CentralCali was correct.
The only way he can make problems for you (with immigration) is to file a criminal complaint (theft if you took the plane tickets and not paid for them or worked them off) BUT it is unlikely that he ever did.
As long as your visa was canceled when you left (either had no ARC or re-entry privilages OR handed in your ARC to cancel your visa) you are good to go.
IF you had a valid multi-entry visa OR if you did NOT turn in your ARC you screwed yourself until your old one expires (and there is NOTHING you can do about it).

This still confuses me. I applied for my ARC but didn't wait around long enough to actually pick it up. 
Either way, I've begun the application process for a new visa 8 months after running. I have just received my visa number from Korea and I'm about to send my passport to the embo here in the UK for the visa.
Does the fact that I have received an issuance number mean that I'll be ok getting my visa and passing through immi when I arrive?
And having read your previous post ttompatz, how unlikely is it that the employer won't claim I "stole" the planet ticket, considering I didn't work long enough to pay it off?
Grr....damn visas.  |

If you got the visa confirmation number then there is nothing derogatory on file.
Sleep well and enjoy your new job.
