I was searching through the Net and saw a bulletin board on a KA site that had a thread on Korean-American males WITH US citizenship who were drafted by the Korean army. It seems that if your name is still on your family registry and you're under 35, you can get drafted should you stay there more than a year.
The funny thing is, I lived in Korea from age 24 to 33, and I got my F-4 visa smoothly and never had trouble leaving the airport during my numerous travels.
One poster said Korea recently enacted a law allowing the Korean gov't to draft a US male citizen of Korean descent under age 35 if they work in Korea for a prolonged time. Perhaps I just dodged a major bullet! |
