US halts green card applications for Cognizant; Indian employees likely to face major impact
The US government has temporarily blocked Cognizant, a firm with Indian roots, from submitting new green card sponsorship requests due to an ongoing probe into suspected visa fraud. This suspension applies to PERM filings, which is a mandatory labor certification step US companies must finish before they can sponsor foreign workers for employment-based green cards. A representative from the Labor Department shared the news with the comment "Handcuffs await," and the decision is expected to have the most significant effect on Indian nationals.
