My recruiter told me that they changed the laws. They don't do interviews anymore.

... but, don't let that worry you, for as long as the sun rises again on another tomorrow, as long as the grass grows and the rivers flow, this change will be followed by another ...

... and another ...

... and another ...

I am mailing my documents to the NYC consulate. I just had a quick question if it was any different with the fee. Money orders and cash only? I was hoping to write a check.

If I'm reading that correctly I don't think it's a good change. It'll encourage more recruiters to try and entice teachers to Korea without an E2 on the premise they can now easily do a visa run after arriving.
