US suspends Infosys, TCS, Wipro and HCL from Green Card sponsorship route

What happened

The US Labour Department suspended eight companies from the PERM programme amid federal investigations. Employees waiting for permanent residency may move to employers that can still sponsor them. TCS said it will comply and relies on local hiring.

Why it may matter

• Paused rather than ended, so the position may change again.
• Useful if you are trying to get a job or build a startup.
• Affects students in the US.
