I know the F2 topic has been done over and over but with recent changes/innitiaives at "immi" I've been wondering something;

How easy is it to add an employer to an F2?

I know if you want to ad a "language institute" you should get an "aditional" E2 visa but what about others?

Has anyone recently added an employer to your F2 that was not a hogwon/Uni?


((I ask this because the rules for adding and F2 and an E2 seem pretty consistant but adding anything else seems to be erratic.))

I don't know about adding other stuff from a hagwon job.. I've done it the other way round.

I have only a F-2. When I first came, I had an E-7. Then I got married. They gave me a F-2. I got permission to work. Didn't bother with the E-7. Last year, friend started a hagwon, needed cheap labour. Asked me to teach part time. We went to immi. Told them the deal. Got a second permission to work, but also needed my original work place (which happens to be my husband's) to write me a release letter type thing to state that they could spare me the hours required from the second job. Once that was done, they gave me the permission. I haven't had an E visa since I got married.

I got lucky: a previous employer wanted me to work at a second place and did the legal route and got me the secondary visa. Immi's just been renewing it ever since. It's now called an S1

What is a S1 visa?
I never heard of it.
