anyone get an f4 visa or know of someone that had to do any time?
is there a specific detail that pretty much assures of service or does immigration base it differently from person to person.
remember a story a while back where an american got the f4, but then forced into the rok army with any warning.
whats the deal on this. |

| If one is still a Korean citizen then he can be drafted. Even if one is born in the United States, Korea may consider you a Korean citizen. The U.S. embassy says that you have to follow Korean law while in Korea. So, if Korea considers you a citizen then you can be drafted. First, you need to see if you are a citizen (registered in the family registry). If you are, then call the nearest consulate and they will tell you how to cancel your Korean citizenship. |

keep hearing something about having to give up the korean citizenship before the age of 18 in order to be exempt from military.
this true? |
