The U.S. government suspended Infosys, Microsoft and Adobe from a program used to sponsor employment-based green cards. Announced on October 8, 2026, the suspension prevents the companies from filing new or processing pending Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) applications, a key step for foreign workers seeking permanent residency.
The Trump administration cited ongoing investigations into alleged visa fraud and misuse of visa programs. Officials said the action is intended to protect American jobs by ensuring companies prioritize hiring domestic workers.
The suspension affects some of the largest users of the H-1B visa program. It could create significant uncertainty for thousands of their U.S. employees pursuing permanent residency.
