Bill overview
The Partner with Korea Act aims to increase the number of nonimmigrant visas available to South Korean nationals seeking to work in the United States. Specifically, it amends immigration law to allow for up to 15,000 South Korean citizens each year to obtain visas for specialty occupations, which require a bachelor’s degree or higher. The bill also modifies the process for employers to certify that they are hiring for these positions and establishes a numerical limit on the visas available, excluding spouses and children. These changes are intended to strengthen economic ties between the United States and South Korea.
