 |
|
Hey I am currently in Korea and have to have to bring a copy of my diploma to immigration in order to get my new visa for March 2012.
Is there anywhere in Korea that will authenticate the copy of the diploma as well as the FBI CRC?
THanks for the help. |

bt.petersen83, you might be able to get your diploma notarized at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. If the American Embassy can't do that for you, then you may have to give someone P.O.A back home in the U.S. Once you establish POA, then your person who you gave POA would have to get a copy of your diploma notarized. Once he/she has gotten that copy of notarized, then your POA person can get it apostilled by home state's Secretary of State's office. If you have an original copy of your diploma with you, then that certainly doesn't hurt. If you have an apostilled copy of your diploma, then that works too. My understanding is Immigration wants a apostilled copy of your college diploma.
As for your your FBI Record Check, you would have to send the paperwork to the FBI Biometrics Division in West Virgina. There is no other way around it, and you must have it apostilled by the U.S. State Department back in Washington D.C. I've called the FBI Biometrics Division and your nearest Korean Police station can help you with your fingerprint card.
I hope this helps. |

I have a query, regarding this thread:
http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=215977
I am a UK national and have submitted my apostilled UK degree and apostilled UK CRC to my employer who are currently processing it with Korean immigration to obtain the visa issuance number.
Now, I have never had an E-2 or been to Korea before. I have been teaching on and off for the past 3 years in China.
Am I screwed in a sense that I would also need to show a China CRC (which I doubt would be feasible for me to obtain now that Im back in UK) for the E-2 visa to be issued?? |

I tried reading up a bit online but I'm not that savvy when it comes to legal jargon (most of it just goes over my head).
I basically would like to know in what situations would the Korean government rescind either an E-2 or F-4 visa once you already received it. ex. broke the law, heath diagnosis, etc.
(I am trying to work in korea and in the process of getting my F-4 visa as I would rather have that over an E-2) |

No, an E2 you cannot teach ANY private lessons legally. You cannot get permission to teach them either.
On an E2 visa the only thing you can do legally is ask your employer for permission to work at a second school or location (company for example) This is then registered with immigration and added to your visa. The income will be taxed. There are rules about a second job, the main points being it cannot (not 100% sure here) earn you more than your primary job. |
Cool info- was asked today by my kindergarten about getting legal permission!
What is needed exactly.. I work in an afterschool program and I don't see a problem with them issuing me permission!
Is there a specific document etc that needs to be filled in n signed or something? |

Contact the kimmi office near you and you can figure all this out. From what I know (however ttom knows this better) simple forms need to be filled out with kimmi in order to register the second work location. As long as that location meets the criteria for a second job its not a problem. The income will be taxed.
Call kimmi and get this cleared up.  |

| my sample got sent for more testing and I'm worried that something showed up because I had dental surgery a few days before I flew in; I didn't think to mention it though when I was talking to the dr. |

| Is the marriage to a Korean in order to get a F-2 visa still in place? Is it going to change? |
