Trump administration suspends Microsoft, Adobe and six IT services firms from PERM green card sponsorship
Ban or restriction
On Oct. 8, 2026, the Trump administration announced it suspended Microsoft, Adobe and six IT services firms from the Labor Department's PERM program, which lets employers sponsor foreign workers for green cards. The administration barred the firms over claims they favor foreign workers. Data cited in the report shows Microsoft received more than 6,000 H-1B approvals last year, with about two-thirds going to people already working at the company, while larger H-1B sponsors Amazon and Meta were not suspended.
