  "account": "The United States' latest restrictions on green card applications have been criticized by India, with the country asserting that the measures do not align with their shared goals. This comes after the Trump administration suspended major Indian IT firms from participating in the Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) programme. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded to the news, stating that the suspension does not impact the validity of existing H-1B visas or the status of current visa holders and their families. MEA emphasized that talent mobility benefits both nations' economies. It's important to note that the PERM program is separate from the H-1B visa program, and the suspension of PERM applications does not directly affect the green card process for eligible employees of the affected companies. JD Vance, a notable voice in the US, has described these developments as \"deeply offensive,\" according to the source.",
