I landed a job with SMOE and got my E2 visa 2 weeks ago.

I am from the UK. My agent told me that if I reserved my ticket with Asiana Airlines I would be able to get the e-ticket paid for by SMOE BEFORE leaving for Korea. I did what my agent told me and Asiana Airline in the UK said they had heard nothing of this deal and that I should check the details with my agent. Then my agent asked me to phone Asiana Airline in Korea! I did so and got my ticket reserved. They too were not aware of SMOE's deal with them. My agent then told me to email the ticket details to the coordinator of SMOE which I did, only to receive a reply saying 'ask your agent to sort it out!'

So I went back to my agent and he said to only to contact him and NOT contact the coordinator anymore about this issue! (he phoned me in ENgland to tell me this) He said from now on, only contact him and to give him my details such as booking reference number, departure times, name on passport etc. So I emailed all my ticket details to him and am waiting for my e-ticket to be sent to my inbox. I am due to fly to Korea this weekend and have not received my e-ticket yet. Starting to panic. What do you think I should do?

You are due to fly to korea when you have a ticket.

I had to call Korean Air and they made the flight reservation just like they said. Then I gave the res number to my recruiter. Now I have the ticket paid for. If you do pay for the ticket yourself, they WILL reimburse you when you get there. see you at training@

I just say, "Email me the E-ticket" to the recruiter. Then I say the same to another recruiter. The one who sends first wins.

I DON'T PUT MYSELF IN ROLE OF MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE. If the school is going to pay for it, then the school is going to pay for it. It's none of my business. What is my business is to get to the airport before the plane takes off and get on it.

If this is too difficult to understand, don't come to Korea.
