Bill Summary
A BILL To provide high-skilled visas for nationals of the Republic of Korea, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Partner with Korea Act, aims to provide high-skilled visas for nationals of the Republic of Korea. Specifically, it amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new visa category (E-4) for South Korean nationals to perform services in specialty occupations in the United States. The bill sets an annual numerical limitation of 15,000 for these visas, applicable only to principal aliens and not their spouses or children. It also requires the Department of Labor to certify that the intending employer has filed an attestation for these visas. The bill further amends the definition of "specialty occupation" to include this new E-4 visa category.
