The United States has frozen the processing of green card applications for employees of Microsoft, Adobe, and Infosys due to allegations of fraud. The US Department of Justice is investigating potential violations of immigration laws related to the applications. Specifically, concerns revolve around whether the companies adhered to regulations requiring them to attempt to hire qualified American workers before sponsoring foreign nationals for employment-based green cards. This action impacts a significant number of Indian nationals seeking permanent residency in the US through these major technology firms. The freeze underscores increased scrutiny of the H-1B visa program and the pathway to green cards for skilled foreign workers. Further details regarding the nature and extent of the alleged fraud have not yet been fully disclosed, but the investigation is ongoing. The move signals a tougher stance by the US government on immigration compliance within the tech sector.
