What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

The US Department of Labour suspended the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program, which governs employment-based green card applications. This action impacted several IT outsourcers, including Infosys and Wipro. Despite the suspension, Tata Consultancy Services stated it does not anticipate the policy change will materially affect its operations.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The suspension raises questions about workforce mobility and long-term talent planning for Indian IT companies operating in the US. While Infosys downplayed the impact due to its established local workforce, TCS maintained its long-term strategy for the American market. The move is part of a wider crackdown targeting fraud and protecting American jobs.
