 Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2009 6:55 am Post subject: IL State Police Check Not Valid for Immi (mostly) |
 |
|
For a country that wants to be on the cutting edge of anything, this place is a f*cking joke. As an Illinois state resident, my CBC has an internal internet feed printout on the bottom (a web address) which Immigration has deemed unacceptable for workign in Korea.I have a notarization from the Illinois state bureau of identification and apostille from the State of Illinois. An apostille, by definition, means that it's a document approved for foreign use by whatever government body which has approved it. In fact, it is the exact same background check I submitted last year with SMOE. But no dice.
What this means is that no single resident of the State of Illinois can work and teach in South Korea, if they get the UCIAF check, because of the 'aesthetics' of the document. If anybody has had contact with this and knows how to get around this stupid boneheaded bureaucratic mess, please let me know.
Honest to God you think they put this crap up so people will just say f*ck it, I'll work under the table.
Just a heads up to Illinois residents: you can't use the UCIAF check thru the State Bureau of Identification, at least for the next week or so until somebody changes their mind.

Can't you get one from your local sheriff/police department or are they all the same. Why not get one from out of state or online?
Edit,
In Canada we need to include the 'Vulnerable Sector' check on our CBC's.
My local PD did not write that on my printout but told me that they did indeed run it. I went back and had them retype the CBC with VULNERABLE SECTOR SEARCH COMPLETED in caps at the top.
Just ask your local PD to delete the offending line for you, worked for me. |

Thanks for the advice, but I'm in Korea already. My local PD (Chicago) won't run a check.
Online checks are not usable. The whole reason I can't use mine is b/c there's a web address along the bottom, which is still BS b/c there's a apostille. Such is life. Korea screws it up again. |

You're lucky they would do that. I had to call the police station every 15 minutes for three days to get them to write me a note saying that the VSS was run, then spend $60 mailing that one page to immigration. |

| It's on the top and the bottom and the apostille is stapled to the page, otherwise I would have. |

How to print IE pages without the headers and footers
By default, when you print a web page from IE, you get those annoying headers and footers giving you information (such as the date it was printed) that you may not want to advertise. You can turn off those headers and footers for a particular print job by clicking File | Print Preview and click the icon for "Turn headers and footers on or off" (hover over the icons to find it). If you want to turn them off permanently, here's how:
Click File | Page Setup
In the dialog box, under the section labeled "Headers and Footers," remove the text in the boxes.
Click OK.
Alternatively, you can change the information in the headers and footers. For example, &d or &D is what puts the date in there. Likewise, &t or &T inserts the time. If you want the footer to show the page number only, just put &p in the footer. |

OP, get the FBI check done.
takes about 3 weeks, 4 for sure, and immigration will exten ur visa for that time period.
print out the finger print form and cover page fromt he fbi website http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/fprequest.htm
get it done by a local cop and he has to put his little stamp on it. send it in with a money order and wait.
there r two copies but the fbi will only certify one, as long as it has both hands on it, ur good to go. then u gotta get the embassy to noterize it. such a pain in the @$$ to get done. thank god this is my last year. theres no way i'd go through all this again. |

I agree. I'm from Illinois too and I just called the state police and they sent me 3 copies of notarized background checks. Not one hiccup. |

About what? Would you care to come to Immigration with me then, genius? Do you think I'm making this up?
Did you read the post smart guy? I said I did the same thing with SMOE myself last year. But that's last year. Do you understand how a bureaucracy works?
I've been three times already, I talked to the State Bureau in Joliet twicely. Tell you what--I can meet you at 12:30 pm on Friday at Anguk station, and me and you can walk into Sejongno together and you can tell them what you did for SMOE last fall, and I bet you 100k won they'll tell you the same thing they told me--'f*** off pal'.
Keep in mind they already know about what I did for SMOE last spring. What exactly do you think has changed between August and now? Probably a law or two, that's my guess.
SMOE processes visa apps themselves, not Sejongno. Hence the difference. But please feel free to supply us with more useless anecdotes. |

I'm currently in Korea, would I have to send them over a fingerprint set? I assume that I do, any idea on the total time it would take? |
