Indian IT Firms Face Limited Impact Of Green Card Restrictions, But Up To 6,000 Professionals May Get Affected

Indian IT firms are expected to face limited impact from the US government's suspension of major technology companies from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme, according to analysts. The suspension is unlikely to significantly affect Indian IT firms, as their reliance on employer-sponsored Green Card applications has declined.

However, up to 6,000 Indian technology professionals and their families could face short-term uncertainty over permanent residency. This comes as India has criticised the American decision, warning of implications for skilled professionals seeking long-term residency.
