I never got an ARC. I was only there for about 2-3 days.

Then you probably had something like 90 days before your visa number went "unused". You can then apply after that for a new visa number and then re-enter and get your very own first ARC card. All of this is just hindsight talk, as it wouldn't have mattered. I am just pondering.

You're good to go now. Get your documents ready and play the recruiting game for a while. Land on a good one.

I hear the process of getting documents takes longer than it did a few years ago. Is this true? Does it really take 6 months to get an apostilled criminal background check?

It takes six weeks for the background check and four weeks for the apostille.

So a few years ago I pulled a runner after first arriving and the recruiter sent me some long e-mail saying that I can't go back to teach English in Korea ever again, she even said I can't come back to Korea for traveling. Is this true? I obviously won't be going through the same recruiter this time around.

I pulled the runner because the school lied to me. I know I could potentially run into the same problem again but I really want a full time job and can't find that here in the states.
