Hi, I am currently in the process of moving to Korea. I will start teaching English there sometime in the Fall. However, I have to request a criminal background check from the FBI for the working visa process. I was arrested more than a year ago for a misdemeanor charge of marijuana procession 0-20. The charged was however dropped in court and it shows as "Nolle-Pros". My question is, will this affect my changes of obtaining a working visa from the Korean government? Thanks!

I think it won't. If you in your own country can't find it so korean oficials would not spend ther time checking you properly. I can ask the court archive
