In 2017, Reps. Connolly and Roskam re-ivntroduced the bipartisan bill and we now have more than 65 cosponsors. This legislation would provide an allocation of 15,000 professional - visas to Korean nationals to work in the?United States. Other US Free Trade Agreement partnersalready enjoy this status with our country and we believe it is an important continuation of KORUS to extend this next bene?t to our close economic and military ally. We are hoping to build substantial bipartisan backing for the provision to demonstrate broad support for future inclusion 1n any immigration or visa reform packages that may be moving through the House this congress We are grateful for your boss? commitment. and understanding of our important bilateral relationship with Korea, Please let me. know ifyou have any questions on this request and when might be a good time to meet with diplomats frOm the Korean embassy. Thanks again and have a good weekend, Paul This material is distributed by DiNino Associates, LLC on behalfof the Republic of Korea.
