    Visa Strategy Talk at the 'Korea-U.S. Business Expansion Summit 2026'

    Media: CityTimes

    At the 'Korea-U.S. Business Expansion Summit 2026' held at the Koreana Hotel in Seoul, attorney Kang Nam-wook stressed that "it's ultimately people who drive a business," underscoring the importance of visa strategy. He noted that ESTA is not a visa but only permits short-term visits for limited purposes like tourism or conferences, and highlighted the E-2 investor visa and L-1 intracompany transferee visa — the most widely used by companies — as core management strategies that must be designed alongside investment plans.

    DaeYang was the only Korean immigration firm officially invited to the 'FMC 2026 Statesmanship Awards Celebration' in Washington, D.C. At the high-profile event hosted by FMC — a bipartisan policy network of over 800 former U.S. lawmakers — and an accompanying Korea-U.S. economic partnership meeting, the firm joined discussions on visa policy and trade. One of DaeYang's immigration attorneys stressed that Korean companies' U.S. expansion is a supply-chain-wide effort involving smaller partner firms, and raised concerns over B-1 visa interview delays and the need for a dedicated Korean-national work visa category (E-4).
