 |
|
Hey, so I left my job in Korea in December. I still have my ARC in my possession and it does not expire till August 2017.
I worked at my previous school for 2.5 years and I left with a good relationship with my employer and she has not cancelled my visa sponsorship.
I have been out of Korea for nearly 4 months now and I am wondering if my ARC will still be ok to return since it does not expire till August. Any answers on this subject will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! |

Can you return on that E2 = yes.
Is it legal = no. You are required to report a material change in your status (unemployment) to immigration within 14 days and at 4 months you clearly have not.
Will you get caught at some point and have problems because of it = unknown.
If you try to stay and find a new job rather than enter, exit and turn in your ARC, and then return as a tourist then you are certainly at risk.
It will also complicate a new visa application or transfer to a new employer unless your old employer is willing at this stage to give you a LOR.

| I already have a release letter from my previous job. It's just being away for so long I am worried about. |
