| Congrats. That's good to hear (selfishly). I am waiting for a paper from DC and will then be doing the whole visa thing. Nice to hear it can happen quite quickly. Anyway, have fun. |

| there was no interview, they told me policy change. I picked up my passport this afternoon, surprisingly it was a multi entry visa (I didnt ask for it, but glad they gave it) but only for 13 months. Do I have to go through this all over again next year if I resign with my school? |

If you mean to say re-sign, then: All the paperwork can be handled for you in Korea, by your boss. You wouldn't have to do much of anything.
If you really mean resign, sans hyphen, and you want to sign with another employer: You'd have to leave the country, i.e. the Visa Run. You can do that at any South Korean consulate in the world. The closest is Fukoka, Japan. |

You realize that re-sign can be written resign, right? |

You realize that there can be a lot of confusion with the two words, which have completely different meanings? |

Yes, but the previous poster appeared to be calling out the OP on improper word use. |

No, it's like saying "pasta with meatballs". Oh, you mean spaghetti (the long noodle stuff) with meatballs not the curly or bow-tied shaped pasta?
At no point did I say pasta was wrong, I was merely asking for clarification.
However, if you want to take a stand, yes, it should be wrong for clarification purposes. I would prefer saying/using re-sign and spaghetti to be clear than resign and pasta. |

Ohhh you just got yourself in a heap bringing up Italian food. I am Italian and spaghetti is very different from pasta. Spaghetti is spaghetti, macaroni is pasta. Rigatoni, cavatelli, bowtie, etc... Are pastas as well. Variations of spaghetti are just spaghetti as well. And for clarification for the great american debate on sauce v. Gravy, sauce is seasoned ketchup in a jar, such as rague, prego ect... Gravy is what Italians make from scratch to drudge over their pasta. Lol in hope this was a good lesson.  |

Let me tell you a little story: I once knew a foreigner, who worked at another branch of the school I was with. He was having a lot of problems with the job, and had been considering quitting. We didn't have very regular contact. A while later, I'd inquired about how he was doing. He sent me a message in reply saying he had "decided not to resign". It took me a long time to figure out what the heck he meant. (It turns out he meant that he had finished his year, but would not to renew his contract... i.e., "not re-sign").
And, at the risk of fuelling even more of a thread derailment , I'd say writing it as "resign" when we mean renew should be considered improper use, if we want to guide English towards being more phonetic. (Which, IMHO, we should). When we say "re-sign" (synonym: renew), we clearly split it into two distinct syllables. When we say the other "resign" (synonym: quit), it flows smoothly. |

| Therefore, "renew" is better than "re-sign." |

Ok, but then we wouldn't get to squabble over the finer points of the English language, the 'bread-and-butter' of this board sometimes . |

It was very quick for my job to pick up my visa, too. However, it took the cosulate in Houston 3 days to give me my visa, but that's normal.
Congratulations! |
