Let's say you quit for another school, no transfer of visa but applied for a new one with new employer.

Would my new school call my old one to see what the reason was? Is this common?

Just curious if it's standard protocol for a new employer to call an old one if you're applying for a new visa. Somebody please let me know.

yes most likely.. all the schools that the previous teacher from my school applied to have called mine to ask about him

Yes, in my experience. Often, a prospective employer, will ring your last place of employment. If you were unlucky enough to get a bad report from your old school, you need to work twice as hard at the new school, to ensure a good reference, for your next job. In my case, my coteacher gave me hell, but I got on well with the VP. But I never asked for his cell phone number, & he transferred to another school. Koreans don't generally reply to emails all that often, in my experience. I didn't repeat that mistake at my current school. I have the VP's phone number, & the Principals.
