 |
|
So my current work situation appears to be a bust, and I'm going to apply for a new job if I can.
What does the process entail once I'm already here? Do they still need a copy of my sealed transcripts? The seal is (obviously) broken on the copy I sent there, and I didn't think to bring and extra set of sealed ones. (I can get my university to send me a new set here if need be, but want to avoid that step if possible.) Will they wnat to see my arc card as well as my passport? Diploma? How should I dress for the interview? Any important interview ettiquette I should know?
And most importantly, how long does it take to get a job here? My current employer is getting 30 days notice; can I get a job in just a month, or does the process take longer? |

If you are doing a "change of employer / place of employment" with the blessing of both employers then you can stay on the same visa and just need to file the application with the appropriate fee.
If you are doing a new visa then you need a complete set of new documents including "new sealed transcripts", "embassy certified" or original degree, passport type photos, resume, etc. |

| "Change of employer/place of employment"---- that means getting a letter of release, I assume. Is there anything else beyond a letter of release that I need for a change of employer? And how much is the fee? Is there a place I can look all of this up? |

Does 'sealed' mean in an envelope? I thought by 'sealed' they mean official as in stamped with the university seal etc. The ones I used previously were sent in the same package as the diploma etc and certainly were not sealed (as in an envelope). There was no problem, so I assumed since they accepted it it isn't about the envelope but about the official seal/imprint which would be difficult to forge. If they are talking about an envelope that would be weird and would only seem to have ramifications for recommendation letters etc. A technicality but interesting. I wonder what the Korean rendition of this policy is and if it would shed light. |

| Well, what I've been told is that they need to be sealed in an enevelope, with a postal insignia on the front. That way, it's proved that they were snet directly from my University, untampered, unmodified, unforged, etc.... I'm also told that fairly recently (in the last year or so) criteria has gotten a little stricter for proving that one earned a degree. |
