Hi, I'm south korean, graduating in Dec, from a recognized U.S. university. Was hoping to start working in January/Feb, as i finish up everything by next week. as my salary will be around 2.2k, i thought it would put me into S-pass applicant rather than work permit.
the problem is, for students finishing up in dec, the conferral date is on feb 1st, meaning i will be reviewed for graduation on that day /or after Feb 1st, and within 6 weeks i will get the diploma in mail. which means, if i apply for s-pass (because the company wants me to start working by Jan/Feb) before the diploma physically gets to me, how would i prove my educational qualification to MOM?
so the second option i thought was to apply for work permit instead. would this more make sense?
