You and me

끝나지 않을 history

Oh, 나의 우주가 돼 준

우리의 이야기

목적지 없이 흘러가는 저 소행성처럼

나도 그저 떠내려가고 있었어

어둠 속에 찾은 나의 모든 dream

새롭게 시작될 story

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I feel this way I’ve never felt

You and me

깨지지 않는 별처럼

너의 꿈이 되어

우주를 여행하는

어두운 길을 비춰주는 저 은하수처럼

너는 나를 향해 빛나고 있었어

어둠 속에 찾은 단 하나의 빛

너에게 향하는 나의 길

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I feel this way I never felt

I feel this way I never felt

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

A life, a sparkle in your eyes

Heaven comin’ through

And I love you

And I love you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

USA - Department of Homeland Security (DHS) To Supplement H-2B Cap with Nearly 65,000 Additional Visas for Fiscal Year 2023

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in consultation with the Department of Labor (DOL), announced that it will be issuing a regulation that will make available to employers an additional 64,716 H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas for fiscal year (FY) 2023, on top of the 66,000 H-2B visas that are normally available each fiscal year. 

By making these supplemental visas available at the outset of the fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2022, DHS is acting swiftly to address employers’ needs for additional seasonal workers. 

At the same time, DHS and DOL are working together to institute robust protections for U.S. and foreign workers alike, including by ensuring that employers first seek out and recruit American workers for the jobs to be filled, as the visa program requires, and that foreign workers hired are not exploited by unscrupulous employers.
