I am leaving school today, and my Won Jon pulls me aside. I thought I had my lecture of the month coming. You know the one where based on the complaint of one student you must change all classes kind of lecture. Well I got something completely different.

She pulls out the paper from the immigration office, and said they wanted to confirm my degree even though I had given them all the crap to do that about 7 months ago. Apparently it is some sort of general check due to the fake degrees.

I am not worried in the slightest, my college days resulted in a real diploma.

My only concern is why are they bothering me now 7 months after giving my E 2 visa?

You answered your own question it seems..:

There was a thread about this just yesterday. Apparantly, lots of people (everyone eventually?) are being double-checked. IMO nothing to worry about or be concerned about as long as you are legal.

Up to your neck foo'.

Nah. If you're in deep doo doo, every teacher in Korea's in deep doo doo.

My boss pulled me into his office one night and told me that he had a phone call from immigration about me. He wouldn't tell me what it was about until I pushed the matter. As if I wouldn't want to know what they wanted... It seems that they called to ask him about which recruiter he used to hire me. I didn't go through a recruiter to get this job over 2 years ago. I don't know why they'd be worried about it now. Anyways.. I called immigration on the following Monday and they checked my files and said there were no problems... I wasn't very impressed with my boss.. or for that matter, I'm still not.... 91 more days to go!
