IBM has decided to stop sponsoring H-1B visas and green cards for most positions in its US consulting division amid tighter immigration rules under President Donald Trump. The move could affect Indian professionals, who make up a significant share of skilled foreign workers in the US technology sector and rely on these visa programmes for employment. According to reports, affected employees may have to relocate outside the US or leave the company by the end of 2026. IBM said its use of high-skilled visa programmes had been declining due to changing skill availability and client requirements. The decision adds to concerns among Indian technology workers.
