The United States has suspended Microsoft from a federal program that allows companies to apply for green cards for skilled foreign workers. Senator J.D. Vance announced the suspension, which impacts the tech giant's ability to sponsor permanent residency for certain H-1B visa holders.
Adobe has also been suspended from the same program, according to multiple reports. This action is part of a broader crackdown on foreign worker programs, affecting the process for tech firms to secure permanent residency for their international employees.
The suspension targets a program designed for companies to apply for green cards for their H-1B visa workers. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
