Summary

This bill creates a new visa category for South Korean nationals to work in specialty occupations in the United States, with an annual cap of 15,000 principal applicants. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to add this visa type and sets requirements for employer attestations and numerical limits.

Sec. 2, Reciprocal visas for nationals of South Korea: This section adds a new visa classification under the Immigration and Nationality Act for South Korean nationals coming to perform services in a specialty occupation. The Secretary of Labor must certify that the employer has filed an attestation. It also limits initial visa approvals to 15,000 per fiscal year for principal applicants, not counting spouses or children. The definition of specialty occupation is updated to include this new visa category, and existing attestation requirements are expanded to cover these visa holders.
