Illegal Employment Issue Overcome: Chinese Student Changes D-2 to E-7 Visa Successfully in Osan

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주

A Chinese student majoring in Industrial Design at a Korean university faced serious immigration consequences after it was discovered she had worked part-time at a design studio without proper work authorization under her D-2 student visa.

After graduation, she was set to begin a full-time position at a Korean design company, which supported her transition to an E-7 (Specialty Occupation) visa. However, the unreported past employment triggered a violation of immigration law, leading to an official investigation and the risk of deportation.

That’s when she turned to Dongju Law Firm in Osan.

Dongju’s immigration team swiftly responded by submitting:

• A detailed letter of reflection from the client
• A petition from the hiring employer
• Employment contract and company hiring plan
• Proof of qualifications (degree, portfolio, Korean proficiency)

✅ The result? Despite the previous unauthorized work, the client successfully avoided deportation and obtained her E-7 visa — allowing her to remain in Korea and begin her professional career.

Violations of immigration rules don’t always mean your future in Korea is over. With the right legal strategy, even difficult visa transitions can be achieved.

If you're a student or graduate facing visa issues due to unauthorized employment, contact Dongju Law Firm for strategic guidance and support.
