特朗普政府宣布暂停微软、Adobe及其他主要科技公司参与永久劳动认证项目的资格，该项目原为外籍员工申请绿卡的合法途径210。副总统JD·万斯在华盛顿表示，"美国没有任何一家公司比微软更严重地滥用了这个系统"1，并指控这些公司广泛滥用了H-1B工作签证制度48。美国劳工部也对Adobe采取同样措施5。
被暂停资格的公司还包括Cognizant、Infosys、Tata、Wipro、HCL和Capgemini等IT外包企业10。劳工部长Keith Sonderling表示该决定源于正在进行的联邦调查10。根据Guardian World报道，微软在2026年申请了近3,700个H-1B签证，排名第五，而Amazon的申请数量最多，超过9,300份5。自2009年以来，微软和Adobe共获得约230,000份H-1B签证批准和100,000份永久劳工认证5。
万斯指责这些公司通过裁减美国员工后用外籍员工替代的做法，声称"对于每位被微软裁员的员工，他们用1.5名外籍劳工替代"5。他还表示H-1B项目员工的平均工资比美国同岗位员工低20,000美元5，并强调"你不能裁员美国员工，然后用外籍契约奴隶替代他们"5。微软回应称其大多数员工是美国人，根据2025年年报数据，公司拥有125,000名美国员工和103,000名国际员工，并为许多已在美国的人员的身份调整提出了H-1B申请10。这一举措是特朗普政府加强外籍劳工管制的一部分49，H-1B签证项目本身并未被暂停9。
The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe, and other major technology and IT firms from participating in the permanent labor certification program, which allows companies to sponsor foreign workers for green cards.24810 Vice President JD Vance announced the decision, accusing the affected companies of systematically abusing the H-1B visa system.156 According to Vance, "There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has abused this system more than Microsoft."1
The suspension prevents these companies from filing new applications through the permanent labor certification program, though the H-1B visa program itself remains operational.910 The action reflects the Trump administration's broader crackdown on foreign worker policies. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling attributed the suspension to ongoing federal investigations into the companies' hiring practices.10 Beyond Microsoft and Adobe, the suspension affects other firms including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini.10
Vance leveled specific allegations against Microsoft, claiming the company has laid off American employees and replaced them with foreign workers on lower salaries.5 He stated that H-1B workers at the company earned approximately $20,000 less annually than American employees in comparable positions, and asserted that "for every one Microsoft employee that was laid off, they replaced them with one and a half foreign workers."5 Vance further declared: "You cannot lay off American employees and then replace them with foreign contract laborers."5 Since 2009, Microsoft and Adobe have collectively received approximately 230,000 H-1B visa approvals and 100,000 permanent labor certifications.5 In 2026, Microsoft ranked fifth in H-1B applications with nearly 3,700 requests, while Amazon led all companies with more than 9,300 applications.5
Microsoft responded to the suspension by noting that the majority of its workforce comprises American employees, with 125,000 U.S. workers compared to 103,000 international employees as of its 2025 annual report.10 The company stated that many of its H-1B applications were filed for individuals already in the United States seeking to adjust their immigration status.10
