Okay, so i signed a contract with an SLP school. About a week ago I found out that they are an awful company to work for.

I got a visa and I still want to work in Korea. (I'm still in the states)

I have many job offers at different schools but now I have to send away for my transcripts and background check again.
The schools all want me to start soon in the next few weeks.

My question is, can I get in trouble for not going since I signed a contract and made them go through the process of getting a visa. Will the consulate tell me I can't apply for a visa again?

Is there anyway I can just use the visa I have or do I have to get sponsorship through a new school. I figure I probably have to go through I new school but I want to ask just in case.

I may be wrong, but I believe that since you have had your visa issued already, you have to wait 90 days for it to expire before you can get another.

1) Calm down

2) Why do you think that thir such an awful company? Did you read it or hear it somewhere ( ie, former teacher, blacklist, etc)?

3) Did they do something to make put this awful idea in your head after your visa was processed?

Plus a facebook group and the more research I do on the school the worst it gets. SLP is well known for treating staff like crap.

I did talk to some teachers there and they said they don't hate it. I'm in a mind f*ck right now I have no idea what to do.
