Hi,

I was just approved for my F-6-1 visa, and my wife and I will be locating to Seoul from Canada on November 1st.

I am American, and my wife is a PR in the US, and we have been living and working in Canada for the last 4 years.

My wife is Korean, and hasnt been home to live (Korea) for about 20 years, so we are both looking forward to the re-location.

Her mother and sister live in Seocho-Dong, very close to Kang-nam, so that is the area we are looking in as well.

We are looking for any assistance as to location to live and work to do, any ideas would be appreciated.

Welcome,

as for the location to live I would recommend to see where you will be working. To travel to work otherwise can be a long ride - and the place should be within your budget.

A good idea is always to make yourself known in the Korean and the Foreign Community. This way you can learn how others did it and meet people who can introduce you to possible employers and/or landlords.

For a start you can look here:

A good start are as well all Chamber of Commerce Meetings, Rotary, churches, all kind of clubs etc.
In your case I hope you will get some assistance from your family.

Happy moving!
