U.S. lawmakers reintroduce bill to provide work visas for highly skilled Korean nationals

Two American lawmakers have reintroduced a bill to provide work visas for highly skilled South Koreans.

Republican lawmaker Young Kim and Democrat lawmaker Sydney Kamlager on Thursday introduced the "Partner with Korea Act" as part of efforts to encourage greater collaboration between South Korean and American businesses.

The bill seeks to create an allotment of 15-thousand E-4 highly skilled work visas for South Koreans with specialized education or expertise.

The bill was previously introduced in the 113th 116th 117th and 118th congresses but to no avail.
