 Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:34 am Post subject: Applying for an E2 in person/half-Korean? |
 |
|
I have a good friend on Facebook who's interested in teaching English because of me, but he's worried about the dual citizenship mess that might affect him if he tries to apply for an F4 visa. He is 22 years old, half Korean, and his father was a Korean citizen when he was born. Does the dual citizenship law apply to half-Koreans as well?
From the advice I gathered here, I told him to get an E2 visa. People here mentioned how the consulate won't know if he's Chinese or not. (His last name can be either Chinese or Korean.) Also, if he applies for an E2 visa in person, is it given on the same day?
Also, he's currently not in his home state, so does it matter which consulate he goes to? I read that it matters quite a bit, but just wanted to make sure.
Thanks.

Foreign passport, place of birth NOT in Korea, degree, clean CBC then yes, he can go the E2 route.
Find a job in Korea.
Send the documents to Korea.
It will take 12-21 days for the visa confirmation number to be approved in Korea AFTER he finds a job from abroad.
They will return (usually by e-mail) the visa confirmation number.
He then goes to a Korean consulate.
Then it will take another 2-5 working days to process the visa at the Korean consulate abroad.

Thanks for the info!
