Indian Tech Workers Face US Visa Squeeze

Times of India - India · india

Indian tech professionals in the US are facing a double squeeze on their path to permanent residency. The employment-based green card backlog already exceeds 10 lakh Indians. Now, the US Department of Labor has suspended new PERM filings for companies like Cognizant and Cloudera amid investigations into alleged fraud. This makes it harder to enter the system, while the wait to exit the visa queue can take decades, creating significant uncertainty for many.
