I'd like to get my crc apostilled through this company http://www.uslegalization.com/
Has anyone used them, heard of them, had a good experience with them??
Thanks!
Rachel

I used them for my apostille, and it went well. I overnighted by Fed Ex on Thursday and had back on Tuesday, no hassles, no problems. The service is cheaper than others I've seen. I'd recommend photocopying your CRC before you send, just in case, and Fed Ex can give you the return slip to include for when they send it back.

Google search, US Legalization reviews, that normally do the trick or look at yelp http://www.yelp.com/biz/us-legalization-annapolis

Thank you globus monkey; that is very reassuring to hear. How long ago did you have that done??

I overnighted it on Thursday, 9/22 and got back Tuesday 9/27. They say 1 day turnaround on their website, but it's not exact. It's basically a guy who goes over to the State Department and waits in line with your CRC, so it depends on how busy they are every day, I guess (it's still much much much faster than mailing to the DOS yourself. Much.). It was more expensive to send Fed Ex overnight than it was for the actual service, but if you are in a rush, this is a good option (you can pick cheaper than overnight, but I was getting impatient after the 10 weeks it took to get my CRC back. Hooray efficient US gov't!). Overall it was about a hundred bucks. Had a job less than two weeks after, so it was well worth it, in my opinion. Good luck!

Gah, I feel like you and I have the same exact situation! lol I appreciate your clear and specific answers, definitely gives me some piece of mind! Hope you are doing well in Korea now

I'm not there yet - don't leave until late November. But, I figured I had to help a fellow Pacific Northwesterner out! I spent the last eight years in Seattle, and just came back to NY to see my family before I move. It rains here too, but it's just not the same .

Once you get your info back, post your resume on here and apply for every job you can find that fits your criteria. You'll find some good recruiters to help you out, and don't take anything that's not close to what your looking for (close is the operative word). As first timers, we gotta make some allowances and even a tough job is only for a year, but be firm with what you want and don't be afraid to say no. Good jobs are out there!

ps - if yer ever in Changwon, hit me up. Good luck!

Ha ha, yes, you're awesome!! There's nothing like the PNW.. I went back to visit my family in FL a few months ago, so that is out of the way at least lol
I should be heading out in early November myself, barring anymore foot faults.. I have a school lined up right now, hopefully it all works out; they are really great. I have used this website as well as waygook.org to help get me where I am now.
I will be living in Daegu if you are ever in the area.
Good luck to you, hope you have a great experience! Feel free to stay in touch and let me know how your process is going!
Take care,
Rachel
