Of course, one advantage of being on an F visa is that it's actually possible to accept casual employement with no contract at all.

I don't know which Koreans you happen to know; however, those of my acquaintance, even for part-time work, get a contract. They know, as everyone else should know, that no contract means no protection.



The majority of Koreans just like the majority of Americans work with no written contract. Many F-visa holders work numerous jobs with no contracts.


You're full of nothing but bad-hagweon-owner justification. Now, I have seen a few posts, admittedly very few, where you have actually dissed a bad hagweon. Your taking them to task, though, was very couched.

It's funny how you attack people and cry like a baby whenever it is shown that the real world differs from the nonsense you post.

So says the guy who defends the dishonest IC issue. I'll be sure to give that all the due it deserves.

It is Perfectly Legal for an E2 Visa Holder to Work as an Independent Contractor at the Present Time:
