Hi all,
I was just informed today by my recruiter that I was unable to be issued a visa because the school that I was supposed to work for had engaged in some illegal activities in the past, such as private teaching or teachers working without a visa or something to that effect. This now throws me into a difficult situation. Everything seemed to be going good. The recruiter said that since a recent TV program about illegal teachers and forged degrees the korean government is making a big crackdown on schools.....!
Back to square one I guess...  |
Just to offer some perspective that all bad news doesn't necessarily lead to SBS news programs, immigration has always been hard on schools that have consistently bad habits. For example, there was a school in Daegu who had a history of submitting releases for teachers and a few times where they had to cancel the visa issuance process midway, because of 2 teachers took late offers elsewhere. The straw that broke the camel's back for them was when immigration processed the visa issuance letter for a teacher, who went off on his visa run and never came back, because he decided to take a job in another country. Immigration just got fed up with the school and put them on a probationary period for future visas. |
