<Anchor> A



woman from Vietnam married a Korean and gave birth to a child, and reported that she was in danger of being expelled from Korea. I became an illegal resident because of my divorce once, but it is said that the situation is even more twisted due to the corona crisis.



Reporter Park Jae-hyun covered the story.



<Reporter> A



69-year-old father and a 1 year and 9 month old son.



[Hello, I have to.] In the



house where the three live, there are only two people in the resident registration family.



Nuen, a Vietnamese wife and mother, who lives with him, is an illegal immigrant.



[Han Beom-soo / Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do: (Divorced from a Korean) I am alone while coming out, I don’t know well, so I have to act (visa), but I can’t act… .]



Mr. Nuen, who came to Korea in 2013, got divorced once.



I lost my status of residence because of that, but I became an illegal resident while working in a factory without leaving the country to pay for the hospital expenses of my parents in my hometown.



[Han Beom-soo/Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do: (Parents) were seriously ill, so it seems that they earned and treated them.]



Afterwards,

I

met Mr. Han, got married again, and had a child, but his status did not change.



Currently, deportation is delayed by one month due to the corona crisis.



The back hurt from going to the factory is getting worse and worse, but health insurance doesn't cover it, so I can't even knock on the door of the hospital.



[Han Beom-soo / Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do: I can't go to (Vietnam) because of Corona, so I have to go quickly to make documents…

.

If this person is sick, he would go to the hospital, but he can't do that.] If you



pay a fine of 30 million won, you can apply for stay in Korea, but it's too much money for the poor.



[Newen/Vietnamese nationality: Yes, I can't go to the hospital.

I can't go much.

My back hurts a little.

Having a baby is hard...

.]



Another way is to get a new visa after returning to Vietnam.



I managed to get a plane ticket too.



However, the problem is that illegal immigrants can take up to half a year to re-enter Korea.



This is because when the husband leaves work, there is no one in Korea to take care of the little baby left behind.



[Attorney Jo Young-kwan / Head of the Friend Center of the Immigration Center: There were many circumstances that could not be returned due to the corona pandemic situation, and if there are circumstances where it is difficult for children to be separated because they were born or young, consider it for humanitarian reasons…

.] If the



corona situation improves, you will be deported at any time.



The Han family plans to ask the Immigration Service's Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission to relax their status of stay in Korea.
