S 1301 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Partner with Korea Act

This bill creates a new visa category allowing South Korean nationals to work in specialty occupations in the U.S. It directly affects South Korean workers in specialized fields and their U.S. employers seeking to hire them. Key provisions include adding a new visa type (E-4) for these workers, setting a yearly cap of 15,000 initial visas for principal applicants only (not including spouses or children), and requiring employer attestations to the Labor Department. The change modifies existing immigration law to establish this dedicated pathway for South Korean specialty workers.
