A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:


First of all, I am an F4 visa holder who is married to a Korean wife and we have residence here in Korea. So I am not bound to work by an E-2 visa at any workplace sponsorship (i.e. hagwons, Business English academies, etc.), and am in a position to either stay, or look for a new line of work at anytime during my 12-month contract period.


1.) I have my FBI CBC + apostille diploma from the United States in my possession here in Korea.

When I apply to the school, what are the exact necessary steps in what I need to submit to them, the number of photographs and all necessary steps.


2.) Can the FBI CBC + apostille diploma be transferable from "one province to another province" (i.e. Gyeonggi-do to Jellonamdo, Gyeonggi-do to Gangwan-do and vice-versa.) after completing one teaching job and moving onto a newer one, or do I need to repeat this process all over again?

Would I have to re-submit them again when I start working at another hagwon or adult Business English academy when I am done with this one. Whether I decide to move on from here before or when the 12 month contract is up?

If I stayed in Korea the entire 12-months without leaving the country under this FBI CBC + apostille diploma, could I just re-use this to transfer to another school without going through the entire finger printing, ordering docs, contacting the US federal government process through the Internet all over again if I already have everything on file with the appropriate Korean government agencies?

The reason for this is that I landed a new job in a new province in Korea, and when I either decide to leave this job before my 12-month contract is up or when the 12-months of work have been completed, I just want to re-locate from one job to another (i.e. city to city, gu-to-gu, province-to-province) without going through this FBI CBC + apostille process all over again.
