US suspends PERM green card program for Microsoft, Adobe, and major IT firms

PERM program H-1B visa green card suspension visa fraud investigation IT outsourcing

The US Department of Labor has suspended the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program for eight major technology companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Capgemini. This suspension prevents these firms from filing new PERM applications or processing pending ones, effectively freezing the pathway to employment-based green cards for many foreign workers.

Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of abusing the immigration system, alleging the company laid off approximately 6,000 American workers while simultaneously benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. Microsoft has contested these claims, stating that about 80 percent of its H-1B filings last fiscal year were for status extensions or changes for existing employees rather than new hires.

In addition to the corporate suspensions, the administration has opened investigations into nine elite universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, regarding the alleged misuse of J-1 exchange visas to undercut American wages. The Indian government has criticized JD Vance’s remarks as deeply offensive and unfounded, noting the significant contributions of Indian professionals to the US economy.
