				| I'm not asking how you get them.  I've been offered a job by a hagwon that wants to get me an E2 visa.  Is it alright to ask them if I can apply for an F-4 instead?  I think I'm eligible for one since I'm gyopo. 
 I just don't want them to think I'd up and leave because I have an F4.  I want to keep myself covered too.  It'd probably change flight details somewhat.

 If these guys are acting in good faith it wont matter to them so long as you have a visa that allows you to work. If they demand you get an E2 visa just so it makes it easier for them to take advantage of you it goes without saying, don't take the job!

				| If you qualify for an F-4 Visa then get it.  It will allow you so much more flexibility than the E-2. 
 If the school won't hire you unless you get an E-2, look for another school.
