Bill > S1301

This bill, the Partner with Korea Act, aims to provide highly-skilled nonimmigrant visas for nationals of the Republic of Korea. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to add a new visa category (E-4) for South Korean nationals to perform services in specialty occupations in the United States, subject to the Secretary of Labor's certification that the intending employer has filed an attestation. 2. Requiring the Secretary of State to limit the number of initial applications for the new E-4 visa to no more than 15,000 per fiscal year, with the numerical limitation only applying to principal aliens and not their spouses or children. 3. Expanding the definition of "specialty occupation" in the Immigration and Nationality Act to include the new E-4 visa category, in addition to the existing H-1B and E-3 visa categories. The bill aims to facilitate the movement of highly-skilled South Korean workers to the United States, strengthening the partnership between the two countries.
