I haven't. I've heard about all these people on the board receiving them but I haven't heard anything outside of this discussion forum. I would gladly go if I received it just do get it out of the way. My school is pretty good about delivering our mail to us, so I doubt that would a problem . It just seems a bit risky for the Immi department to merely send out letters and hope that people actually receive them. And if we don't get them it seems that we will be punished pretty good.

I had thought about going to the Immi office myself but if I just arrive there sans letter they might just give me a blank stare. The trip is a bit of an issue because I live pretty far from the nearest Immi office. I had thought of them staggering the letters out so as not to have a people jam at the various offices but this would be foresight, so I highly doubt it. It's just very inconvenient and unsettling.........

Although there's a notice---written in Korean---going around to some K-teachers, no foreigners at any of my school's campuses have received anything like this. The only reason I know anything about this new policy is b/c I read about it here.

They were all given to our Department's office.

I'd find out quickly.. the deadline for them is the end of the month.

Who knows how militant they'll be in getting unclaimed forms.

I called immigration about this and was told that all E-1 and E-2 visa holders in Korea have to fill out the form, and if you did not get the letter to just go to your local immi office and fill it out there.

I didn't get it. I went to immigration and filled out the form there. no problem. Although they do ask for contact info for your university, so you might want to bring that (I didn't, but the guy looked it up online and wrote down the website address.)

They send it to your owner, not to you. It's in Korean. You should definitely ask.

Oh did I say "owner"? I meant to say "boss". I guess I should change that, huh?

I think the majority of people have not...

I was told by a person who inquired at immigration that they only sent letters to people they were suspicious of and not everybody...i hate to generalize but it was mainly canadians they were worried about..

If you haven't recieved a letter, don't worry...they just don't think you are suspicious of possessing a flase degree

Cdn, didn't get it, checked with school owner, and everyone who would possibly have had it put into their hands and we haven't received anything at all.

I'm not worried - they can't "punish" me for not doing something that they never asked me to do.
