People who are saying any kind of misdemeanor will get you rejected are just fanning the flames of anxiety.[/quote]
This is probablly the best thing I have heard in a long time. Too much paranoia and hating going on about Korea everytime I read this board. Someone earlier said I don't know what I am talking about because I haven't been paying enough attention to these boards. If you pay too much attention to this board when it comes to topics like this you will just become paranoid and maybe even a little xenophobic. Yes people are getting denied VISA's but how much do we actually know about the people that post on this board. Pretty much nothing. Not to say that their stories are false but that there is probablly more to it than what is being said. A person denied for just a simple traffic accident or ticket? I really have my doubts about this. Someone denied for possession of drug? This could lose you a job back home. With the demand for English Teachers so high and the supply so low I really doubt there is this Witch Hunt out to get all foriegners out of Korea. This quote as well as many others proves that. If you were arrested and/or charged with and convicted of a felony be a little worried. Other out there stop reading and responding to these posts. It will make you go CRAZY!!!!!!!! |

| esl-planet.com has a section about this on their FAQ page. It is a really helpful site. As far as I can tell though, Anything violent, sexual or drug related is a big NO-NO. |

I have been reading a few posts about people getting their e2 applications denied because they had charges on their criminal record reports. Some seem kind of silly because they have nothing to do with teaching such as
reckless driving
DUI
Public drunkeness
Traffic accident
do you need a clean slate in order to get a teaching visa? |
With raps 1,2, &4 just deny a foreign teacher an international driver's license. |

Well if you broke any laws of government and was duly charged with said crimes, then I would guess the answer would YES.
I would love to be the immigration official who had to figure out what that charge meant.
As to if immigration forging previous convictions, people are forgetting that immigration is filled with bureaucrats and lazy ones at that. If all the official is stamp NO and yell "NEXT", then that is what they will do. |

THis is a topic that has been beaten around for awhile now. Since December 15 new applicants have been required to submit criminal record checks and so far I haven't seen anyone on Dave's post anything about being deinied a VISA because of any small offense. Yes there was the previous case that was mentioned the other day about the man who got in trouble because he had a car accident in Korea but others have contested that they too have had accidents and have had no problem getting a VISA. There was obviously more to the story than we know about not to say he was at fault. I read a post a while ago about a man getting denied but that was because of his employer not immigration. He stated that immigration granted his VISA even after discovering he had an arrest record. I also saw another post a month or two ago about someone applying for a Public school job with a small misdameanor on his CRC. He told them and still got his VISA.
This ZERO TOLERANCE stuff I here on this board about CRC drives me crazy. I'm sure if people were getting denied VISA's because of small infractions they may have made back home this board would be flooded considering this is were everyone comes to cry about how unfair Korea is. So far I have seen nothing that would make me believe this. Even when March 15 rolls around I don't think think things will change. Many people also need to remember what criminal is. I have looked into this myself and in order to have a criminal record with the FBI back home you have had to be arrested of a crime that is punishable by over 93 days in jail. This includes all felonies and some high level misdameanors. If you got caught going driving 90mph in a 60mph or were caught drinking a beer before you were 21 at some college party then I don't think you have much to worry about.
If you have been arrested and charged and convicted of a felony regardless of what it might have been then I would be a little concerned. Also remember though this could also make or break a job back in your home country too not just in Korea. I don't see what Korea is doing as unreasonable. I do think they should have taken into account certain things like how long it will take us to get these checks and I think the whole interview process is stupid. If you want to know what will get you denied don't come to this board. IT is a waste of your time and you will just get cynical comments from people who have nothing better to do than get a rise out of other people. Ask your employer or go to immigration for answers. Most of us have had some kind of small criminal offense. I myself have gotten caught speeding many times and even thouth this might be a criminal offense it doesn't make me a criminal and I also believe that Korea realizes this also contrary to what many of you may believe. I look forward to hearing some feedback on this topic and to some harsh criticism from various people on this board. PEACE!!!!!!!  |
Here's the deal. If your FBI report's not clean, then find another country. |
