A package of pens and a package of A4 mailing envelopes arrived today. I'm sticking my fingerprint documents into an envelope and sending it to the FBI via EMS (Express Mail Service). Then, I'm heading out to Sookmyung and Dongguk Universities to see if I can get copies of my 경력증명서 (gyeong ryeok jeungmyeong-seo, certificate of employment). Depending on how that goes, I'm heading back to my place to finalize the sending of my diplomas to the US apostille service, then shipping the diplomas out either later today or sometime tomorrow.
Even though the act of mailing all of these things out doesn't resolve anything, it's still going to feel like a relief: Everything, at that point, will be up to the mail gods and to whatever the FBI thinks of the quality of my fingerprint documents (I was repeatedly warned, at the police station, that I might have to go through the whole fingerprinting process again if the documents are rejected).
With the diplomas, I'm hoping just to get them back with the apostilles. With the fingerprint docs, I'm ideally going to have an FBI background check sent to me, then I have to send the background check back to the US to get apostilled. Weeks and weeks of waiting. And how many job ads will appear during that time?
I talked to my ex-boss yesterday about giving me a letter of recommendation, so that ought to be coming my way soon. An ex-coworker already gave me his (very nice) recommendation. It's all coming together, slowly but surely.
Oh, yeah—I need to get a health check and health report as well. That's going to mean a trip to the local doc for a standard checkup.
Speaking of health: My regular hospital appointment is this Friday.
ADDENDUM: I got notified that my sealed Georgetown University transcript is on the way.
