| Park, you've posted this before. People are wary of your intentions here, so be selective in what you post. |

| Everybody should know this by now. We've had many, many threads about degrees and transcripts. The OP is just spamming, anyone in employmentt in Korea or seeking it will know this. Anyway all this is in the FAQ. |

| Yeah...whatever...My university puts a stamped seal over the flap of the envelope, but no one signs their name on it. Also, the same name on everything does not apply to the ladies. |

| Why don't the moderators do something about a recruiter posting the same info multiple times? Isn't it the same as advertising for free on this site??? |

The deal with our American passports having our middle name rather than our middle initial like on our degrees is silly. Korean immigration should verify with the U.S. dept. of Education, the U.S. Social Security Administration, the U.S. Dept. of Revenue, and the U.S. Dept. of State to verify and match identities and degrees rather than relying on a job candidate to prove it.
You mean to tell me there going to decline my E-2 visa becuase my name on the degree reads, "John S. Smith" while on the passport it reads, "John Seibert Smith"? Name given here is fictional example to demonstrate real situation. |

I highly doubt you'll have problems getting an E2. I never have, unless immi just got stricter... |

My envelopes looked like the third pic. It was rejected. So I sent another one with a signature and a stamp. It was rejected because the signature was of the acting registrar and not the one that was printed on the paper work. So I had to get the school to write a letter explaining why and fax it. I don't see why they couldn't just pick up the freakin phone and call. And this was after I was already approved for a visa earlier in the year....  |

HI Scott,
It really depends.
Despite having assisted hundreds of teachers in getting their visas in Korea, the immigration still surprises us from time to time. It is unfortunate that they do not standardize and update their regulations and changes consistently on their websites as well as the Korean Consulates' sites. All we can do is guide teachers based on our experiences and knowledge, to carefully prepare their documents so that chances in being rejected are minimal.
There had been instances where visa applicants have been rejected, as one form of document had an initial and another had the full name spelled out.
From our experience, I would say you have a 50/50% chance of getting your visa if you sent it as is. I would suggest getting a confirmation letter at your earliest convenience from your university stating that the names on the documents all belong to you and include it in the package. It would not be fun to send your documents twice by FedEx or DHL as they do get pricey!
Thank you for your civilized response.
Wish you the best of luck |

Are you serious? They don't have a department that deals with that? That's nuts. |
