Trump administration blocks Microsoft from green card program
Original: Trump officials block Microsoft’s access to program for employee green cards
Trump administration officials have moved to block Microsoft's access to a program the company used to obtain green cards for its employees. The reported decision restricts the tech giant's ability to sponsor permanent residency for foreign workers. It adds to a broader tightening of employment-based immigration channels under the administration, and is likely to affect affected employees' residency plans and prompt responses from Microsoft and immigration advocates.
Why now: It is a significant restriction on a major US company's use of employment-based immigration, fitting current scrutiny of H-1B and green card policies.
