I am supposed to leave in 2 weeks!!! I have had my criminal background check turned down by Korean Immigration, due to them saying its not a goverment document. It was notarized and apostilled! It was done by a police detective, with WebCheck finger print scan. Issued through the Ohio Attorney General's office. This is what they said:

"I am afraid that your documents have been turned down again. The main issue is with the Criminal Background Check. Korean Immigration has a problem with the lack of a signature by an officer as well as the URL down at the bottom of the page. To them, it looks false despite the notarization. They have never seen any official document with a URL at the bottom, especially something as important as a government document. The lack of an official appearance makes them think anyone could have falsified the report."

The unfortunate thing is our local cities don't offer CRC's and the only way to get a state one in Ohio is through the BCI&I (Attorney General's office) with WebCheck.

I can't get my visa issuance number until the Korean Immigration clears it, and now the interview with the Korean Consulate has to wait. I am having the Attorney General send me a new one without those issues. The AG says that it will NOT have any issues with the SK Immigration, but now I have to get it notarized and apostilled once I receive it. Then send it off to SK by FedEx.


Questions:

Was there an easier way to get this all taken care of?

How long does it take after you get your visa number to get a Web interview with the Korean Cosulate? And your passport back?
