Some people in the province where I live are concerned because they have not received the form, but yet hear from others that they must report - or get grilled.

If EVERYONE is to do it "eventually" - does that mean by the end of December - or by the end of next year or ?

What are people to do - if they don't get the notice?

So what does all of this mean for someone who will arrive in, say, January, with an E-2? Should such a person bring his diploma with him?

As a general rule-of-thumb, it is always a good idea to bring your deploma with you when travelling to Korea so that if you change your job, you don't need a notarized copy.
Or....
You can bring your notarized copies and show your diploma to back it up.

I have a question; When a person submits the form, can they also bring another paper from the MOE telling immigrations that the degree was ALREADY checked and verified?

I had to go to the SMOE in Jungno 5-ga back in 2002 for the same purpose we are doing now. But at that time, it was for Korean teachers (I was the only foreigner, minus the Japanese teachers, at my institute.). At that time, I had to go with my old wangjangnim also.
The cool thing about the verification process then was that after it was checked, I got alot of the same benefits as the Koreans got; 1. Tax returns back at the beginning of the fiscal year 2. Pension statements

I wrote about that after I went there, I'm surprised alot of people didn't pick up on it at that time...hmmmm......

This degree check thing is gonna get messy.

Did mine, its simple enough. But reading above it seems notification hasnt been complete. Immi knows where we are -- why on earth didnt they do direct mailings? How many have forms lost or ignored on inept directors' desks?

Next year theres going to be a spate of visa renewal denials for noncompliance. I wonder what recourse the uninformed will have.

If you hold an F2-1 visa, call your local Immigration office to remind them that you don't need to validate your diploma with them because matters of your employment does not concern them anymore.

My employer informed me today that my school, (Incheon), will require all teachers to give up a day of our Christmas holiday to do this.

I felt like slugging him in the face.

I told him this is a scare tactic. I have no intention of coming back here, forget the school, the country I mean so why should I bother?

Well, here is why...you are just never sure what those morons at immigration are going to do. They are more inclined to arrest first and ask questions later.

I recommend you go. Take EVERYTHING because you don't want to have to make this pain in the ass trip once, so twice because you forgot something would be even worse.

Looks like it is all of us, so fine let's just go and create a massive amount of paperwork for them. Who cares if they don't have trees here anymore after this, more money for Canadian paper manufacturers.

Cheers,

To know more about it, just go to the immigration website to get the lowdown on the whole deal.

PPB~ that f'ing sux!

------On another note, is there a mass group going to the Mok-dong office either this week or next week?

Why don't we make it a day trip, go there to hand in our stuff and then go for some lunch or something?

What do you say??~?
