I have held an F2 visa for 2 and a half years and am married to a Korean. I have been trying to get information as to how to do the above.


Could somebody on here tell me how this is done as the "hikorea" site
lacks the information. Would I need to take a Korean test? Any info would be much appreciated...

There aren't any tests involved but sometimes showing the willingness to learn Korean is good. (I only knew survival Korean when I recieved my F-5 in 2009)
And the 30million won requirement isn't always enforced either.(I wasn't asked for any proof of that)
Lastly the background check is not required if you have an FBI check on file at immigration. (Some people have said)
