US suspends Microsoft and Adobe from green-card labor program
Original: h
The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe and Infosys from the PERM labor certification program that lets employers sponsor H-1B visa workers for permanent residency, citing alleged fraud. JD Vance announced Microsoft's suspension, while officials including Axios say the H-1B visa program itself has not been suspended. Reports say companies like Microsoft have been barred from seeking green cards for foreign employees as part of a wider crackdown on skilled-worker immigration.
Why now: The Trump administration's crackdown on skilled foreign worker programs is hitting major tech companies, prompting debate over immigration policy.
