Labor Department suspends Microsoft, Adobe and six other firms from green card program

The Department of Labor suspended Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini from the Permanent Labor Certification program, which lets employers sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency. Vice President JD Vance announced the move Thursday, accusing the companies of visa abuse and saying firms must hire American workers. The administration also launched investigations into nine universities over use of J-1 visas.
