What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The US Department of Labor announced the temporary suspension of certain IT companies, including Indian technology companies, from filing new applications under the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme. NASSCOM stated that while the decision affects a specific immigration pathway, Indian technology companies have reduced their dependence on H-1B visas and expanded local hiring in the United States.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The suspension restricts access to a specific immigration pathway used by multinational corporations to secure skilled foreign talent. NASSCOM maintained that immigration and skilled talent mobility are separate issues, noting that the H-1B visa program will continue to address short-term talent gaps.
