               It was when I went to the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Au

               stralia to obtain my doctorate . In order to get a doctorate, you must spe
               ak English ... and to learn English, you went to language school .

               However, I was unable to complete my studies and had to give up and ret

               urn to Korea . So I had no choice .... I wanted to let my wife learn for me
               during the remaining days at school . But the visa was a problem .

               I went on a student visa .... My children and their mother went on accom

               panying visas . However, in order to learn the language ... and to remain i

               n Australia ... I had to go to Korea or a foreign country to change my acc
               ompanying visa and come back to Australia .Also, refunds were not proc

               essed for language courses run by the school .

               The reason was said to be that the Korean Study Abroad Center took a c
               ertain amount of fees .

               So First of all , Chesewood immigration You have to go to the

               ( Immigration Department) to change your visa , but in Australia, there is

               no local law to change the status of someone who came with a student vi
               sa and someone who came with a student . asked the local pastor of the l

               ocal Seoul church, Kim . Uiop He also said that it was impossible .

               And when I met a lawyer ( Korea ) and discussed it , he also said that it
               was impossible . I returned home discouraged , and prayed earnestly to

               God as I returned home .

               But for some reason, I kept feeling that things would turn out well .


               I am Chesswood I went to immigration .

               And rather than speaking in brief English, speak in Korean.

               “Ask the representative of this place to come , tell the representative to
               come !” He called out loudly . In a word, it was a sight to behold .

               There are many Koreans living in Camsea , Australia , but there were no

               Koreans in Chesswood or Immigration that day .
     QR        I don't know how much we talked about it .
