US suspends permanent residency program for Microsoft, Adobe and other tech companies

The US government has suspended the permanent residency program for several tech companies, including Microsoft and Adobe. This decision follows accusations of fraud concerning H-1B worker visas involving seven different firms. The White House announcement, which specifically bans Microsoft from sponsoring foreign workers for US residency, represents the latest effort by the Trump administration to limit immigration. This move significantly impacts multiple technology groups currently utilizing these visa programs for their international workforce.
