				| With all the confusion over the new E-2 visa requirements, I was wondering how the community is feeling about their future in SK. |

				I strongly suspect that I'm renewing because of the new regulations... however, this is because people other than me are concerned about them. I think the main reason I get to keep my job for another year is that I'm a safe bet.
 
 
I have no fear of the new regs, I can get a new CRC in a few days if I have to. (Hoping to not have to anyway.) |

				Do you get evaluated by your students/staff? If this will be your fourth year (correct?) you're clearly doing a good teaching job, don't be so self deprecating.   |

				| Well, donkeykongteachlife, even though I'm trying to renew at this school they're all really confused about the new regulations, so God knows. |

How can you get it so quickly? Have a relative working for the FBI? |

				| I just renewed for another year in December, and all they said was I would need a CRC and diploma verification for next year, but by that time I'll be married and have my F2. So the new rules have been no problem for me. |
