| Once again, a criminal record has no relevance to an E-2 Visa. No checks are done, convictions, arrests, no-contest pleas, etc. They are not used in an E-2 Visa check. |

| Just don't tell anyone about it once you get a job here! ESPECIALLY about the funny stuff you were smoking. |

Is that perhaps why GWB never travelled that much? He did go to Canada in 2002, so entry there clearly does not demand a pristine record. Logically I would have thought that if a DUI is no hindrance to becoming a president and visiting Canada as a president it should be no hindrance to becoming a teacher. |

I wanted to thank everyone for their experiences and thoughts. I feel a lot better about it now. I was on travel.state.gov and did you know that the entry requirement for Canada (even for a tourist visa) says anyone with even a DUI may be denied entry. What's up with that?
Ohh, and I was not trying to downplay the fact that I got convicted of a DUI, but the point I was trying to get across is that it has nothing to do with my teaching ability.
I also called the Korean Embassy and the lady that answered the phone told me that all I needed for a teaching visa was a contract, visa application, and some form from Korean Immigration. I asked her if I needed to show my Diploma, and she said no. I thought that was odd because all the information I have says you have to take it there and have it notarized. I am assuming all of you got that done.
Thanks again!

NOTE: Any individuals with DUI or DWI's on a police record should list this under the felony section of the RABC application. Although these are considered misdemeanors in the US, they are considered felonies in Canada. Each application receives a thorough background check, and if this is not listed on the application, the individual may be denied.
The Canadian government reserves the right to deny entry to any individual with the equivalent of a Canadian felony on their police record, no matter how long ago the infraction occurred.

| I know of several people who were turned away from the US border for having DUI's and assaults. The even gave me shit for about an hour when I first came to Korea Via San Fran Sisco. US border guards can be tough cookies. |

One thng that worries me about your original comment is this. i wasn't going to say anything as i don't want you to be attacked for your mistakes but it does bother me.

DUI is one of the stupidest things a person can do. My friend died a few years ago because someone plowed him off a footpath off the side of the road and killed him while DUI.
Now you go and tell my friends family that it isn't a major crime and I am sure he wouldn't agree.
I'm glad you were caught before you did something similar, i am just hoping you learn from your mistake. |

| I am not slandering you. Remorse is the usual response to a situation like this. Your statements seem callous. Maybe you got framed by the man, maybe you were saving a busload of orphans. Who knows? Anyway, as I have shown, Canada Customs doesn't care. You are a class-A criminal in their eyes. The Koreans, though, will not check your background. Come on in. |
