US Green Card Halt Impacts Eight IT Firms Including Infosys and Wipro

The US has temporarily halted the issuance of new green cards to employees of eight IT companies, including major Indian firms Infosys and Wipro. This action was taken under a specific immigration law provision. The suspension is due to these companies allegedly having a high ratio of foreign workers on visas compared to American employees. The freeze will remain until the companies provide additional documentation to justify their hiring practices.
