US suspends Microsoft, Adobe and six IT firms from PERM green card program

Vice President JD Vance announced that Microsoft, Adobe, and outsourcing firms Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini have been barred from the PERM labor certification program amid allegations of fraud and abuse. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said Microsoft and Adobe's PERM privileges were suspended due to multiple active federal investigations, meaning no new or pending applications will be processed. Vance claimed Microsoft laid off 6,000 workers while receiving 6,300 H-1B approvals and nearly 3,000 green cards, with roughly 1,000 of its 3,682 PERM filings overlapping with laid-off positions.

The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe, Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro from a permanent labor certification program used to secure green cards for skilled foreign workers, citing alleged fraud. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said the government will stop accepting new or pending applications tied to these companies, and Vice President JD Vance said the move targets firms he says should be hiring American workers instead. Vance also said the administration will investigate nine universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, over alleged misuse of programs for international students.
