GoKawiilLabor Department suspends Microsoft, Adobe and IT firms from green-card program
The U.S. Department of Labor said it will stop accepting new applications under its Permanent Labor Certification program for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said Microsoft and Adobe were suspended due to multiple active federal investigations, and cited figures showing the companies have collectively sought millions of foreign worker visas since 2009. Vice President JD Vance separately criticized Microsoft over 2025 layoffs, saying the company would be barred from the program until it prioritizes American workers.
