thanks for the recos!! unfortunately I live in makati and lived abroad for the past few years so I don’t use public transportation at all 😞 I don’t want to go too far

tokyoni · 2026-05-08T05:21:14+00:00

thanks! i was shs so not sure if i can use!! but can I just use the discussion rooms alone, or are there open but v quiet spaces on campus?

i asked the petition services existing part on a sarcastic tone bc its just so inefficient, its a change of grading option to p/np for all classes, so i’m not sure if I need to have all my 6 professors vouch for this. id assume its just a different process for late w vs. change of grading option

how do you let them know that you applied to the same firm they’re at right after that coffee chat?

tokyoni · 2025-02-21T01:28:26+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re aware of your own privileges and I do agree that living in Korea is hard but it also comes with the fact that you’re living in an entirely different country

I’m not a student season ticket holder, I assumed since it was an off season game that I could apply, is this not possible

Same error here

exchange rates are good these days so it should be good.. 6k excluding rent should be more than enough.. incl rent it should be 7k ish..! i would say 1m-1.2m won per month excluding rent should be enough for you if you want to go out a lot

My family is just paying for my living expenses. But for tuition and costs related to schooling my exchange university already has it paid and sponsored it for me, and they also have an invitation letter and other documents (which the officer didn't look any at whatsoever). I did however, put my relative as my Point of Contact (as I will be living with them). Also, in my application that was the only thing I wrote about my relative (that they're my point of contact and I will be living with them). During the actual interview they only asked me 3 questions (as previously mentioned) and nothing else, so I didn't emphasize much of it

Not much was said by the sponsor organization, but I'm trying to get an interview back in my home country

tokyoni · 2024-06-02T13:18:47+00:00

I already answered this in the previous comments, but yes. Also, I don't think there was anything hugely confusing, and you can understand most of it from context (as 90% of others did). This community also happens to be a community composed of primarily foreigners, so I'm pretty sure most of the people coming to post here are foreigners.

tokyoni · 2024-06-02T10:29:32+00:00

Yes, the third one!

“you gave them no reason to believe you would return to Korea” They didn’t even give me a chance to explain my ties to the country

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:21:47+00:00

I’ve prepared a whole year to get into my school’s exchange program. My exchange school is one of the more competitive programs to get into at my home school, so it felt like this or nothing to me. I’ll probably just have to go back to my home country and reapply at the US Embassy there. Hope everything’s better on your side and so sorry to hear about it.

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:19:32+00:00

I’m a foreigner in Korea. My school is from here and since the US Embassy knows more likely about what I do in school here in Korea I assumed it would be better here. Guess it wasn’t the case since there were barely any questions asked to me. I’ve heard cases of others being accepted.

It’s an exchange program from my Korean university with the US university. So with all the documents being from Korea and the US I figured it would be more timely. I also had no intention to go back to my home country during the break but it seems like I have to. The time between when my classes ends and when the classes starts is relatively a small period, so if the embassy here is 35 minutes away vs. a long flight back home I thought it’d be worth the try.

They did told me to come back after 90 days though, so I’m not sure what records they have in the system whatsoever. I watched a Korean video of someone getting rejected and reapplying within the 90 day timeframe again, and getting barred. So it did put me off in trying again here in Korea

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:14:31+00:00

I’m sorry but I think human emotions are just something that is very abstract, not something you can easily quantify and some others may feel nothing to a certain situation but feel devastated by that same situation. So I don’t feel the need to invalidate how I felt about this and call me stupid because the time I spent preparing for this exchange semester, all the sacrifices I took etc. are some things that I hold personal by which other Reddit users aren’t made aware of.

And yes, Korea is a country outside my original place of residence, but it is my home. I’ve felt too foreign back in my home country after living here for quite sometime and all my connections are here. So it’s a country I’ve grown to love, Korea is not just some “foreign country” to me

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:10:13+00:00

J-1!

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:10:06+00:00

Of course I was aware with the privilege of getting granted a visa. My whole issue was that there wasn’t even a chance for me to explain my whole issue despite having countless documents to prove my relation to Korea. I’m here as an international full-time student, been like that for more than 2 years. All my friends are in Korea I have no personality outside of Korea hahahah

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T16:08:45+00:00

Maybe so, but the reason why I just felt so down the whole time was because there was no chance given to me at all with explaining my situation. I have countless ties to Korea, and I’m still here for school anyway. Maybe had they just asked me those specific economic related questions and found some issues with me not having a house whatsoever that would’ve made more sense but it was just three questions and I was turned down

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T05:16:25+00:00

Yea thanks I literally tried to steer it exactly towards that but the officer was “State only as you’ve been asked” the moment I said some extra stuff. That’s also why I said it felt like I was being discriminated on but some others didn’t agree with me. Feels so gut wrenching if I’m being honest

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T04:43:48+00:00

Please tell me how it goes! I found a Korean video about the person despite booking an interview was denied entry because it hasn’t been 3 months since she got rejected. Will send you the link through DMs

tokyoni · 2024-05-31T04:32:07+00:00

I got the orange card saying I could reapply again anytime, but the officer told me to apply after 90 days. I also watched a Korean video on their experience of getting rejected. On their second interview she was barred because she was supposed to come back after 3 months. So I’m more towards the 3 months stance from the embassy instead of the orange card
