a friend of mine asked me this:

"when the recruiter says it's not to be more than 6 months old, does it mean the time until you apply with them or until the school starts the hiring process?"

she got her check done this month. she's going to apply to a recruiter in september, and is ready to leave in february or march...

I expect that it would be 6 months from the time immigration processes the visa application... So February might be a bit too late...

But I dont actually know, just a guess.

Here's my guess -

Director Mr. Park goes to Immigration Officer Mr. Kim with your paperwork. Mr. Kim says "No good... more than six monthe old." Mr. Park asks for it back, looks confused and 'misplaces' W100,000 in the document and hands it back to Mr Kim. Mr. Kim returns it and says "No good... four monthe too old. Mr. Park slips another W100,000 into it and hands it back. Mr. Kim returns it yet again. Mr. Park says "I meet you half way? and slips W50,000 into it. Mr. Kim says 'No good...more than two monthe old. Mr. Park slips another W50,000 into the document and Mr Kim suddenly realises he is human and humans can make mistakes... like reading the wrong date. Mr. Park bows deeply. All is well.
