Visa Workarounds: LG Energy Solution has been using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) to bypass U.S. visa restrictions, as many B-1 visa applications for South Korean workers have been rejected, leading to a significant immigration raid that detained over 300 workers, including LG employees.
