Check those teaching illegally on tourist visas and ask them why they avoid background checks. |

I went through a channeler based in San Jose... straight off the FBI.gov website.
After mailing my fingerprints, it took about 2 days in the mail... 3 days to process. I had them send it to my parents in California. They went to a local notary republic, got it notarized.. then went to the state capital and got it apostiled.
They mailed it back to me and the whole process took like 2-3 weeks. This was all for a recent position starting in March.
This was sufficient for my job, working at a National University in Korea. Mind you, this is a government position teaching English. I am technically a government worker now.
National University's are known to have some of the strictest hiring procedures in the EFL profession. Everything is standardized. |

You lucked out. In most cases an apostille from the DOS is required. It worked for you, but it didn't work for others. |

no, it's not a won win situation. a person who tries it will not only be trying to cheat the system, but if they get in that way then they will ultimately make it harder for those who have already gotten in legitimately.
this selfish way of thinking is one of the most unattractive traits of many "westerners" who try to escape their own countries. |

ITT: wanting to be proven you aren't a criminal faster is cheating. |

I don't think you need an e-2 visa to work at a university. So the background check that you got must be for your university (not for immigration). |
