Summary

The US administration has frozen certain employment-based green-card applications involving Microsoft, Adobe and several major IT companies as part of a broader crackdown on alleged immigration fraud and the use of foreign workers.
The Labour Department said the restrictions would also cover major technology and outsourcing firms, including Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Cognizant and Capgemini.
However, it could affect foreign workers seeking permanent residency through employer sponsorship, particularly those employed by major technology companies that rely heavily on skilled workers from overseas.
