US Suspends Microsoft, Infosys, Tata, Wipro from Green Card Programme

The Trump administration has suspended eight major IT firms, including Microsoft, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Capgemini, and Adobe, from the US Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) programme. Announced by Vice President JD Vance and Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling, the action cites abuse of the H-1B visa system and aims to protect American workers. The Department of Labour will not process new or pending PERM applications for these companies.
