sure they must submit it, but so what, I mean even if a DUI shows up on the CRC, what immigration is gonna refuse him a visa? refuse him to feed his Korean wife and half Korean children??
I don't see that ever happening, sure might be a different story for E2's. but F2? noway...
also the guy who said his friend was refused by schools and recruiters, but then one recruiter rang him back ? doesn't make sense. I mean why are schools refusing? because it's now Immigration rules to have a perfect record check? if that's the case? why did Immigration allow him a visa then? |

Anyone registered with the Ministry of Education will need a CBC starting next year.

1) Korean immigration is notoriously inconsistent.
2) It's not an immigration issue, it's a Ministry of Education issue. |

I knew a guy who allegedly had TWO DUIs on his record.
He had experience teaching in Korea previously. He apparently tried for months and months to get employment and was turned down by nonstop by schools and even recruiters. He gave up and was about to accept a job in one of the middle eastern countries; I can't recall which one at the moment. He didn't take that job because he received a call from a recruiter informing him that a school would take him on and that his papers and visa were in order. He came over and everything - his visa IS legit. The last part I CAN vouch for.
He'll tell you he has no idea why he was successful, but hey, according to him it's happened and he was a reliable guy in my books. I don't imagine this is too common though. |
Here is what I can tell you: a drink driving offense will not automatically bar you from getting a job. It won't, but recruiters won't want to deal with you because they want easy money, they don't want to have a risky prospect because there is a 50/50 chance at least that you'll be rejected. That means also some will be accepted.
If a school really wants someone and the teacher has had significant experience in Korea and this happened before he started teaching, then he has somewhat of a decent chance like the case above. For someone who lived in Korea and knew full-well getting a DUI can get you possibly rejected since 2008, then he or she took that risk by drinking and driving. I don't mean that to judge anyone. I am saying that based on how an immigration official may look at it. If someone was given a visa before in Korea and lived in Korea for some years, he/she may get lucky.
It's a gamble. In the case, of the OP, I would go with 30/70 for and against, if I had to guess. He didn't work for a long time in Korea, and he had the offense after he left. I wouldn't chance it in your case. However, I am not an expert. The above example shows that someone with some years of experience has a shot if someone is willing to go to bat for him and the immigration official is friendly.
I hope the OP finds prosperity wherever he goes, and he can work in Japan, and in Saudi Arabia you can use a state background check. People make mistakes and most of us drink. And many people who have a clean record never got caught. We should all be responsible.
Good luck... |
