特朗普政府宣布暂停微软、印孚瑟斯、塔塔咨询服务、威普罗、HCL科技及其他三家科技公司通过PERM劳工认证项目招聘技能型国际工作者1。这一政策冻结了相关企业的PERM新申请和待批申请，直接打击了依靠H-1B签证在美工作后申请绿卡和公民身份的印度专业人士1。
政策实施的影响已经显现。塔塔咨询服务的PERM申请数量大幅下滑，从2023-24年的1,804份跌至2024-25年的513份，2025-26年更降至仅2份1。该公司过去两年的PERM申请数量已降至个位数1。威普罗表示其美国员工中超过80%来自本地招聘1。截至2025年12月，近100万印度籍人士正等待基于就业的绿卡，占待批申请总数的79%1。根据签证类别的不同，这些申请人的预计等待时间从5年至179年不等1。
政策出台前后，相关言论引发了外交争议。美国副总统JD Vance曾将H-1B签证持有者称为"外国契约劳工"1。印度外交部对此回应称，Vance的言论"无根据"且"深感冒犯"，具有殖民色彩1。此外，特朗普政府早前对新H-1B签证申请征收10万美元费用，后被联邦法院推翻；最近又提议对国际学生工作项目推荐收取7万美元费用1。
The Trump administration has suspended the permanent employment-based green card applications through the PERM labor certification program for eight major technology companies.1 The affected firms—Microsoft, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and three others—can no longer sponsor skilled international workers through this pathway, blocking a critical route to citizenship for Indian tech workers on H-1B visas.1 The policy freeze applies to both new applications and those already pending approval.1
The impact on major employers is already apparent. Tata Consultancy Services saw its PERM applications plummet from 1,804 in the 2023-24 fiscal year to just 2 in 2025-26, according to company figures.1 Wipro stated that over 80 percent of its U.S. workforce comprises locally hired employees.1 Indian nationals account for approximately 79 percent of the nearly one million individuals currently awaiting employment-based green cards as of December 2025, with estimated wait times ranging from 5 to 179 years depending on visa category.1
The policy sits amid broader tensions over immigration. Vice President JD Vance has characterized H-1B visa holders as "foreign indentured servants," prompting India's Ministry of External Affairs to call his remarks "unwarranted" and "deeply offensive," noting their colonial undertones.1 The Trump administration previously attempted to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B applications—a measure struck down by federal court—and more recently proposed charging $70,000 for international student work program recommendations.1
