How will Indians be affected as US suspends IT firms from sponsoring Green Cards?
US has suspended new or pending Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) applications from eight tech giants. This could delay employer-sponsored Green Cards for Indian professionals, who account for over 70% of H-1B approvals and face lengthy Green Card backlogs. Workers nearing H-1B's six-year limit may also face complications. However, existing visas and Green Cards aren't automatically cancelled.
