Common questions
Use this hub when the applicant may qualify through Korean ancestry, overseas-Korean status, or family-line records rather than a standard work, study, or family sponsorship route.
Common delays include broken ancestry chains, inconsistent names, missing family relationship documents, unclear nationality history, incomplete translations, and document authentication problems.
Not always. F-4 may offer broader flexibility, but eligibility proof and restricted-work rules still matter. H-2 may be more realistic for some applicants depending on ancestry evidence and work plans.
No. F-4 and H-2 can still have work-scope restrictions or reporting duties. Applicants should confirm whether the intended job is allowed before starting work.
