US freezes green card applications for Microsoft and other tech firms

Original: microsoft

The Trump administration has frozen green card applications for Microsoft, Adobe, Infosys and other IT firms, citing alleged fraud, while also opening probes into universities. The move affects skilled foreign tech workers who rely on employment-based permanent residency, and an explainer on the programme is circulating widely. The decision is drawing attention in Canada, Sweden and elsewhere as companies and workers assess the impact on hiring and immigration.

Why now: The US government's sudden freeze on employment-based green cards for major tech employers has major implications for skilled immigrant workers and the tech industry.
