 |
|
Hi there, I taught English in Korea last year and my visa ran out about 3 weeks before I was scheduled to leave. I told my school this was happening but they assured me it would be okay and, being gullible, I believed them.
I went to the airport and was put in a room and told I broke their laws and then made to sign a piece of paper and told I could leave but only after they stamped a black 68-(1) on the visa in my passport. I found out this was an "Order of Departure."
This was over 7 months ago. My brother and sister-in-law are now going to go back to Korea to pick up a baby they are adopting and asked if I could join them. My question is, am I even allowed back in Korea or am I blacklisted? Does anyone know who I can contact in Korea to find out?
I currently live in Kentucky and the nearest Korean embassy is 5 hours away. Any insight into how I can find out would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading. |

You have phones in KY, right? So you could, conceivably, call the embassy in ATL or Washington, yes? |
