Howdy ya'll!

So I have a question hopefully you guys can answer, and give me some advice about.

So... basically I was in Korea and I decided to stay another year after my first job ended. Unfortunately, the second job didn't work out too well and I left the position after 3 months (1 semester - hagwon), and was given a letter of release. I never went down to immigration with my employer, and a week later, I left Korea to go home. However, I noticed at the airport they didn't ask me for my ARC or even ask me if I was returning nor did they stamp my Korean visa with a CANCELLED notice on it. I was simply given an exit stamp. I'm confused by this. Does this mean I'm still on my employer's visa? If so, why would they give me a letter of release without actually cancelling my visa? Does this mean, hypothetically speaking of course, I can return to Korea on my E-2 visa, go to immigration, get a D-10, and get a new job to transfer to a NEW E-2 visa?

The reason why I didn't get a D-10 visa while I was in Korea was because I didn't think I'd return before the original visa expired, but life changes.

Is there a way to not only check my visa status outside of Korea but also possibly change my status to D-10 as well?

Thanks! ♡♡
