Trump signs decree imposing yearly $100,000 fee for H-1B visa application submissions

In the Oval Office at the White House on Sept. 19, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order concerning the gold card visa. The event, which marked a significant step towards addressing the U.S. visa system's impact on Korean workers, was attended by key officials.

The gold card visa, the focus of the signing ceremony, has been a subject of scrutiny due to its effects on Korean workers. In response, a task force has been launched by the U.S. government to address the U.S. visa system, with the gold card visa at the forefront of its agenda.

The launch of the task force is in response to a recent ICE raid in Georgia, which involved Korean workers. The raid has raised concerns among business leaders in Georgia, who want Korean workers back but face challenges with the U.S. visa system.

South Korea is working closely with the U.S. to improve the visa system. The current U.S. National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has agreed to collaborate with South Korea on this matter.

The U.S. visa system has been a topic of discussion, with many calling for improvements to ensure fairness and ease of access for foreign workers, including Koreans. This executive order signed by President Trump is a step towards addressing these concerns and creating a more welcoming environment for Korean workers in the U.S.

As the U.S. and South Korea work together to improve the visa system, it is hoped that this will lead to a more harmonious and productive relationship between the two countries. The signing ceremony at the White House marks a significant milestone in this ongoing effort.
