Cognizant's green card filings suspended amid probe by US
The US Department of Labor has suspended Cognizant's permanent labour certification (PERM) filings as part of an investigation into alleged fraud involving employment-based visa programmes. This action marks Cognizant as one of several companies under scrutiny in a nationwide probe launched in July. The Department of Labor Inspector General warned that the administration will take a tough stance against practices that could disadvantage American workers, emphasizing that threats to American workers will not be tolerated.
The suspension affects Cognizant's ability to submit fresh PERM applications until the investigation is completed.
