Vance says 9 universities will be investigated over foreign visas

Vice President Vance announced investigations into nine universities regarding the J-1 visa program, alleging that elite institutions use foreign researchers to undercut American wages. Additionally, Vance stated that foreign workers at Microsoft can no longer apply for permanent resident status through employer-based programs. This decision follows accusations that the company abused the process, resulting in Microsoft being suspended from the permanent labor certification program, known as PERM, to address fraud and abuse in work.
