The South Korean foreign ministry has announced an assessment of the recent changes to the U.S. H-1B visa program and their potential impact on South Korean enterprises and professionals aspiring to work in the United States.
On Friday, the Trump administration revealed a proposal requiring companies to pay a $100,000 annual fee for each H-1B worker visa. This development has stirred concerns among several major technology firms.
These companies are advising their visa-holding employees to either stay in the United States or make swift arrangements to return if they are currently abroad, amidst fears of the new policy's repercussions.
