D-2-2 to D-2-3 Visa Change Approved Despite Past Indecent Assault Case

D-2-2 to D-2-3 Visa Change Approved Despite Past Indecent Assault Case

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

An international student in Korea, holding a D-2-2 (Bachelor’s) visa, was investigated for alleged indecent assault on the subway. With legal assistance from Dongju Law Firm’s criminal defense team, he received a non-prosecution decision (기소유예).

Later, as he prepared to enter a master’s program, his application to change his visa to D-2-3 (Master’s) was rejected due to the past case. This threatened not only his academic plans but also his intended career with a Korean company after graduation.

Turning again to Dongju, the legal team submitted a comprehensive package: the previous non-prosecution ruling, academic transcripts, a graduate school recommendation from his advisor, a future employment plan, and a personal statement of remorse.

✅ The result? Immigration authorities reversed their earlier decision, approving the D-2-3 visa change — allowing the client to continue his studies and pursue his career in Korea.
