Can a citizen of the Philippines apply for a Korean tourist visa in the USA?

Question

I'm a Filipino visiting the US on the 28th for 25 days. During that time can I apply for a Korean tourist visa in ATL? Does anyone have an idea how many days it would take?

I have the option to apply here in Manila for a Korean visa tomorrow (family of friend supporting trip has yet to give requirements needed from them; I have to wait for it), and I MIGHT be getting my passport back on the 27th (its Holy Week, and there's no work on Thursday and Friday); but the problem is if I don't get it back, I obviously can't travel the next day.

I called the embassy here and the Korean lady who assisted me said that I couldn't, but I'm asking for a second opinion since I don't think we perfectly understood each other (I had problems in asking my first few questions, so now I'm a bit skeptical). I already saw one similar question here that said that Filipinos could apply for a Korean visa in the States but I just want to recheck, since I'm only on a tourist visa while going there to GA...Thanks!

Answer 1

your would have to apply from you home country  to the Korean consulate or embassy  you will not be able  from the USA

Answer 2

the rules of embassies says that you have to apply from your home country and not as a tourist,in another country,

you would have to funrnish home adress,and other pertinents informations,

so the likelyhood of you getting a visa from the US is not possible,

Answer 3

Search the Korean Embassy website in the US. Or call them.

You can find their address on www.embassyworld.com.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, but if the woman at the Korean embassy said no, she would probably know more than me.
