US Suspends Green Card Processing for Major Tech Firms Including Indian IT Companies
The US Department of Labor has suspended new and pending Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) applications for eight major technology firms, including Indian IT companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and HCL, citing concerns over visa misuse and exclusion of American workers. Indian IT firms report limited impact due to declining green card applications and a focus on local hiring. Experts warn US universities may face earlier effects from tightened immigration rules. Indian IT leaders emphasize commitment to compliance and local workforce development amid ongoing investigations.
