I sent all my documents to Korea, what's next?
that’s great! you have hired from a school (hagwon) and submit all the required documents for a visa, then here are the next steps!
Once the employer received your documents, it will take 5~10 business days to process the visa at a Korean immigration office. while it processing, you need to check out the website of the Korean consulate in your region to make sure you are ready to apply for your visa once it approved.
please visit the website of Korean consulate in your region, (this is one in Atlanta)
we will send you a visa application form and issuance number by email.
