For Uncle Audie, who's a little pushy... :)
We have now entered the longest part of the visa process - the school has reviewed all of my documents and has forwarded them to the Immigration Office in Korea with an application for a Visa Issuance Number. Once the Immigration Office gives the go-ahead, the school will give me that number and a form to fill out. I will then send that info, plus my passport, to the Korean Consulate in Chicago. They will review the docs and then stamp my passport with an E-2 Visa (that means I can teach English at the school I signed a contract with, but can do NOTHING ELSE to earn income, or I can be deported and blacklisted!).
The recruiter I'm working with tells me the Visa Issuance Number should be in my inbox next week. Once I have the Visa they will purchase my plane ticket. So assuming all goes well and according to plan, I will be leaving for Korea on August 1. Woo Hoo!!!

Okay - wonderful way to communicate. I am very happy for you, and wish you all the best! I'm so glad that you and Breea had a good time in NYC - Nathan and Brooke loved it, too. XOXO - Aunt Karen
We will miss you, but are looking forward to seeing your bio spill across these pages. No pressure, but at least 2 of us have no life and are expecting you to complete theirs.
More photos, keep em coming.
Emily,
Taryn is forwarding me your blog. I am so proud of you. And envious also. Enjoy your time there - see and do all you can. I love looking at your pictures. Please keep them coming. Show me what the culture is like.
Stay in touch.
Bev
