An additional professional work visa bill has been proposed by the U.S. Congress to allow Korean professionals to find jobs in the U.S.
U.S. Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi held a press conference at his Queens district office in New York City on the 9th local time and said he proposed a bill to add South Korea to the "E-3" professional visa quota set up for Australian professionals.
Australia signed a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States in 2004 and secured 10,500 professional visa (E-3) quotas each year through separate legislation.
The bill included adding South Korea to the visa quota, considering that Australia does not meet its E-3 visa quota every year.
Currently, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives has proposed the "Korean Partnership Act," which calls for issuing up to 15,000 professional work visas and E-4s annually to Korean nationals with professional skills, but has not made progress in discussions.
