Why go for the F-2-7 long-term residency visa ?
1. You are eligible to apply for the F-5-16 visa ( permanent-residency visa ) after 3 years since you got issued the F-2-7 visa.
2. You don’t need any sponsorship – you can apply for being a TV entertainer, it is legal to get money from Broadcast company – You can have tutoring and receive the tuition fee – You can start your own business
3. Your spouse can get the F-2-7 visa if you can meet the income qualification
I think I have got enough points, and is that easy to get the visa?
It is not easy to say “Yes” because of the way to see the points is different between Immigration officers and applicants
Sometimes, Immigration officers don’t count points of documents because documents applicants prepared are not right.
I have my original diploma with me, is that ok?
You have to get it translated in Korean or English , after that, you have to get it apostilled or notarized
