US suspends companies from green-card labour programme
The US suspended Microsoft, Adobe and six outsourcing companies from the permanent labour certification programme, three technology feeds reported. Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling cited multiple active federal investigations. The affected group also included Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata and Wipro, blocking new and pending employment-based green-card filings through the programme.
Why it matters
The suspension adds immigration uncertainty for large technology employers and workers seeking permanent US residency.
