The US Department of Labor has suspended major IT companies, including Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Tata and Capgemini, from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme, a key step toward employment-based Green Cards. Officials allege misuse of foreign-worker programmes and say the move aims to protect American jobs. Microsoft and Adobe were also suspended amid federal investigations. The decision means the Labor Department will not accept new or process pending PERM applications involving the affected companies. The suspension does not cancel H-1B visas, but could create significant hurdles for Indian IT professionals seeking permanent residency through their employers. (PC: India Today)
