 |
|
There was stated in another thread that you have, or may have to get a CBC from your home country every year--even if you have an F-2.
2 questions:
I "heard" that you didn't even NEED a CBC when transitioning to a F-2 from an E-2. Is this true?
And second, if you DO in fact need one, do you have to renew every year?
I thought I was escaping having to get another CBC with apostille-bullcrap by switching to an F-2 before my E-2 runs out next July.
What's the deal? |

| depends who you work for. If it's EPIK then yes you need a cbc. If it's a uni, then no, same with a private 'school.' |

You don't need it for immigration.
You need it for the MOE.
You can avoid this by working for a hakwon or uni. (so far at least if you have a F-2).
The end. (Until someone comes up with new regulations). |

Ah. Thanks TUM. If I don't need for immi I'm OK with that. I just don't want to go through the hassle. And I never plan on working for a public school so I won't need it there also.
Good! |

Keep in mind though that the MOE is considering making this mandatory for hakwon workers as well though...they've already passed a new law requiring hakwon owners to double check their E-2s degrees and CBC which takes effect on Oct 26.
So far it seems that F-2s are okay for now providing they don't work for P.S. But that could change at any time. |

Apparently not every year (that's foreign hakwon workers BTW)

I know an f-5 visa guy who works for GEPIK.
He was only required to submit a local Korean check.
Try to figure that one out.

Any idea what kind of CRC is currently/would be acceptable for Americans? Is only a state or FBI considered kosher for E-2's?
I have one that I got from my local sheriff in 2008, just because I thought I might need it. I'm now an F-2, though. Have lived in Korea for almost 10 years.... |

Ok. I think this is the relevant bit.

Exactly.
I gave my employer a CRC a long, long time ago, before they were required and I was an F-2. There were rumblings of it even back in 2000. I thought it would prove I was clean in my country when I was there, and my Korean CRC (on an F5 now) would also be so.
Good advice: just get it done, regardless of if you need it or not and what visa you hold. Never a bad thing to have when applying for any job; a document that shows you to be in good standing back home is useful. |
