I'm still waiting on my CBC, but once I get it and have it apostilled how much of a window do I have to get a job is S. Korea before I have to do the whole process all over again?

Thanks much for information regarding this.

You won't get a correct answer....some will say 6 months...some immigration folks will say one year, some say.....
some say it's good until you get arrested....
on a side note....
one of our teachers....got arrested last year for DUI in the states.....he was in the process of applying for a job in korea.....a week later he is told to get a FBI check...he does...comes back clean in spite of having been arrested 9 days prior!
Fast forward to April this year....one of the korean teachers googles ALL the foreign teachers' names...just being noisy....and bingo! So and so's name pops up....KT runs to the director....FT gets called into the office....long story short....immigration wants to know why he passed the first FBI check inspite of having been arrested 9 days prior to the first check!
He gets another check done...two months later the school gets the results and he is fired...immigration tells him to leave korea!
All for a DUI! They think he somehow scammed the first check showing he was clean....and the FED's are not owing up to anything....just a simple mistake...data entry was late!
