South Korea says to provide clear visa guidelines for its companies operating in US

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea’s top security adviser Wi Sung-lac said on Friday that the government would talk to U.S. officials in order to provide clear visa guidelines for Korean companies operating there and to ease concerns for workers remaining in the United States.

Wi made the comments as the administration in Seoul seeks to avoid a repeat of a recent U.S. immigration raid on a battery factory that led to the arrest of hundreds of Korean workers.

The detention of the Korean workers took place as a collateral effect of U.S. immigration authorities searching for four target individuals, Wi said.
