US Halts PERM Filings for Microsoft, Adobe and Other Tech Firms: Thousands of Foreign Workers Face Losing Green Card Path
The US has suspended the PERM labor certification program for Microsoft, Adobe and several major IT firms over fraud and abuse allegations, blocking new and pending green card sponsorship applications. The move threatens thousands of foreign workers, most of them Indian, many of whom have waited years in the employment-based green card backlog. India called the action damaging and criticized Vice President JD Vance's "indentured servants" remark as deeply offensive.
