US bars Microsoft, Adobe, and major IT firms from green card program
Microsoft, Adobe, and several other major tech firms have been temporarily suspended from the green card program for skilled foreign workers.
The United States government has implemented significant restrictions regarding the green card program designed for skilled foreign employees. Under the latest updates, prominent tech giants such as Microsoft and Adobe have been barred from the program.
According to TechCrunch, other major firms suspended from the program include prominent international tech and consulting corporations like Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro.
While the exact reasons and the expected duration of these suspensions have not been fully detailed, the move is already creating substantial discussion across the global tech industry. The program has historically served as a vital bridge for bringing top international talent into the US.
This development carries contextual relevance for IT professionals in Uzbekistan and the wider region as well. Shifts in how major tech employers manage foreign workforce pipelines can influence global hiring trends and alter the outsourcing landscape.
The future trajectory of these restrictions will depend on how US immigration policies evolve regarding corporate sponsorship, with industry observers closely monitoring the potential long-term impacts on tech talent mobility.
