Yeah, I'd agree that the proven diddling will get a Korean teacher fired, but proven hitting often just winds up in a transfer to a different school and some blood money.

Thanks, I think I understand that since I'm on an F-4 Visa, getting a visa is not an issue due to my two DUI's on my CBR. However, since it is in the hands of the P.O.E. does anyone know teachers on f-4 visa's or Korean native teachers that have a DUI that is barred from teaching in private schools.

I am not sure if it will get you denied a job or not. I personally know a handful of teachers that have worked for public schools and had a DUI (or 2) on their CBC. They had no problem getting and keeping a job with their public school. I guess the rules may have changed but from my 5 years here they are always changing. I am sure you are still fine for working at a hagwon.

Like what was mentioned before, I don't think it bars you from getting a job but I am sure you might have some questions asked. Good Luck!!

Thanks for all of the replies,

I wish their was a website where all of these rules are written clearly. I contacted the korean consulate here in the US and they said that DUI's are reviewed on a case by case basis and they said I should be fine to work in Korea public and private.

Guess, I'll just have to find jobs myself and not through recruiters, the moment the recruiters found out about my DUI's they lost interest, i havent heard from them since.

Anyways, if anyone wants to keep updating on this kind of issue, i'll still be checking this post, since the answers that I read that seemed pretty legit are more grey than black and white.

What jeronimoski is saying about getting it expunged is correct.

You need to follow the record "chain" up the ladder so to speak.

#1) Get a judge to expunge/seal the record at the local level.
#2)If #1 is possible and completed go to the State level with documentation that the incident was sealed by a judge at the local level. Request it's sealed.
#3) If #2 is possible and completed go to the FBI division for records. Explain w/ documentation from previous levels that everything has been sealed. Request they seal this at the Fed level.
#4) Submit a background check at the Fed level to make sure nothing's coming up still. If it is, you need to track the source down and re-submit paperwork showing it was sealed so they need to seal it.
#5 Retest background.


Other point made here is correct - initially, just check to see if the CRC comes up clean or not. No need to go through this if it doesn't show.

State laws on CRC issues vary a great deal. "Liberal" blue states tend to have laws that limit public disclosure so a sealed or expunged record may mean different things in different states depending on the charges, how much time has passed etc..

Red or conservative states like Florida consider you a criminal before you've committed a crime. They're just waiting to confirm their suspicions that you are a low life by finally arresting you. Just one more reason to never vote Republican.

Expungement usually only works if you have only a single conviction.

It's possible he could get the most recent one expunged. I doubt he could get both to disappear.

The best option for you is to get into contact with private or public schools directly. However, if you possess a good amount of Korean, you can look into corporate/company positions. You can look on the Korean job board (Not Dave's ESL Cafe, WorknPlay, etc) and you'll find jobs that can possibly suit you. Again, most of these jobs require you to be bilingual.

And even if you were never convicted, a charge still may show up on your FBI check. You could have had the charge dismissed, but some states still submit these charges to the FBI so it will still show up.
