| I don't hate people with F visas. I just wonder why having one precludes jumping through the hoops like the rest of us. |

It makes perfect sense to me. An F visa is a citizenship visa. They can't make citizens fly back to their "home countries" for checks because Korea IS their home country. Right? Am I missing something? |

| The majority of F visa holders are ethnic Koreans. |

I understand that. What about the ones that aren't? |

I think another side of this coin should be considered: think of all the lucky Korean girls who have been suddenly proposed to by their
F-2-seeking English boyfriends.
"Want to get married?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"
"How about this weekend? You free?" |

I see your POV. But you are barking up the wrong tree with complaints like that.

Heh my gf brought it up. Said are there other visas besides an E-2? I said well were I a professor I could get one. Then she said well my mom was talking about marriage.
I said :
1. You're at least a year too soon to even suggest that.
2. I won't marry to get a visa to work in Korea. I'm not some piss poor 3rd worlder trying to work in the West. Sorry that one sounds harsh but I know that's what we would think. |

Which is why I said I don't hate the people with F visas in the first damn place. I don't hold them responsible for all this E2 nonsense. |

Wow, that's a harshly judgmental over-generalization about immigration in general (inside and outside of Korea).
It also reeks of "Occidental Arrogance". |

You're missing something. It is NOT a citizenship visa, it is a marriage visa. If you were a citizen of Korea (and not just a resident as most of us are), you would have no need for visas at all. |

| Heh slice it the way you will, I stand by my comment. I'm all for marrying someone you love and immigrating. But to rush into a marriage to get an F visa to work? Nah it's basically just like I said. |
