Infosys and TCS Say US PERM Green Card Suspension Will Not Have Material Impact on Operations

Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services have both responded to the US government's suspension of Permanent Labor Certification applications affecting several global technology firms. Both companies stated the move is not expected to have a material impact on their operations, citing established local hiring practices and minimal PERM application volumes in recent years. US Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling announced the suspensions amid a broader review of visa practices and employment policies.

Infosys disclosed that it had been notified of a Department of Labor ruling placing the company — alongside a number of other named firms — under a bar on both new and pending filings through the Permanent Labor Certification programme, the employer-sponsored route by which workers with specialist qualifications can obtain long-term residency in the United States; that disclosure came after a government announcement the week prior had indicated that multiple technology and IT companies were among those suspended from the PERM green card pathway. On Thursday, Tata Consultancy Services — India's largest IT firm by revenue — released a statement addressing the US Department of Labor's announcement concerning PERM procedures, noting that the company intends to comply with any guidance the agency puts forward.
