What The Suspension Of U.S. Permanent Residency At Major IT Firms Actually Means For Techies
The Trump administration has suspended a key employer-sponsored green card process for several major technology companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini. The move targets PERM, or Permanent Labour Certification, a process through which employers can sponsor foreign workers for US permanent residency. The suspension does not automatically cancel existing H-1B visas or require affected employees to leave the US. However, it could delay green card applications and leave Indian tech professionals facing greater uncertainty about their long-term future in America. The decision comes amid wider restrictions on skilled foreign workers, including the Trump administration’s push for a $100,000 fee on certain new H-1B petitions. While US officials argue the measures protect American workers, critics warn that tighter immigration rules could make it harder for US companies to attract and retain global talent.
