Wipro says US green card filing suspension has no immediate business impact
What happened
Wipro stated that the reported US suspension of PERM green card filings for major IT firms—including Microsoft, Cognizant, TCS, and HCL—has no business impact on its operations. The company clarified its position following reports that the Trump administration had halted these specific immigration-related applications.
Why it matters
The suspension of PERM filings complicates talent retention and long-term immigration pipelines for major IT services providers. While Wipro maintains the move does not affect its current operations, the restriction introduces significant uncertainty for foreign professionals across the technology sector.
Bigger picture
This development signals potential shifts in US immigration policy under the current administration, specifically targeting how international technology and outsourcing firms manage their global talent deployment and workforce residency strategies.
