US suspends Infosys from PERM green card program
In short
The US government said on Thursday that it is suspending some big tech and IT firms, including Infosys, from the PERM green card program.
That program helps skilled foreign workers get US permanent residency through their jobs. The reporting does not say how long the suspension will last or how much it may affect Infosys.
What the reporting says
The US government said on Thursday it was suspending some major global tech and IT firms, including Infosys, from the PERM green card program. The report says the program allows skilled foreign workers to gain permanent residency through employment, but it does not state how long the suspension will last or whether Infosys expects a material impact. The immediate consequence is a hiring and immigration hurdle for affected firms.
Why it matters
The US government said on Thursday it was suspending some major global tech and IT firms, including Infosys, from the PERM green card program. The reporting identifies the program as a route to permanent residency for skilled foreign workers, but does not explain the reason for the suspension or its duration. The move could complicate staffing for Infosys and similar companies.
