美国副总统万斯已暂停微软参与一项绿卡计划，该计划帮助公司为外籍员工申请永久居留权。此举源于对这家科技巨头招聘做法及其使用H-1B签证制度的审查。
US vice president JD Vance has suspended Microsoft from a green-card programme that helps companies sponsor foreign employees for permanent residency. This follows scrutiny over the tech giant’s hiring practices and its use of the H-1B visa system.
万斯表示，微软在2025年裁减了约6000名美国员工。他还引用了与该公司相关的6000多份H-1B批准和近3000张绿卡。他说，这些数字引发了关于美国工人待遇的严重质疑。
Vance said Microsoft laid off around 6,000 American workers in 2025. He also cited more than 6,000 H-1B approvals and nearly 3,000 green cards linked to the company. He said the numbers raised serious questions about how American workers were being treated.
Adobe也被暂停。主要IT企业Cognizant、Infosys、Tata、Wipro、HCL和Capgemini也在暂停之列。

万斯说：“不幸的是，美国没有哪家公司比微软更滥用这一制度了。”

美国政府正在审查各公司是否在合格的美国工人可用的情况下，仍利用移民制度招聘外籍员工。微软提交了3682份PERM申请。其中近1000份申请涉及的职位，与已被裁员的美国工人所从事的工作相似。
The US government is examining whether companies used the immigration system while qualified American workers were available. Microsoft filed 3,682 PERM applications. Nearly 1,000 of those applications were for positions similar to jobs held by American workers who had been laid off.PERM is a required step for most employment-based green cards.
PERM是大多数就业类绿卡申请的必要步骤。根据该流程，雇主必须证明对于特定职位，不存在合格、愿意且可用的美国工人。

What happens to Microsoft’s applicationsUS labour secretary Keith Sonderling announced the suspension on Thursday. He said the Department of Labour would not accept new permanent labour certification applications involving the companies.
此举还将停止处理他们待处理的申请。桑德林表示，这项行动涉及全球一些最大的IT外包公司。他说，自2009年以来，这些公司总共申请了近300万名外国工人。据桑德林称，他们已获得超过23万份H-1B签证批准和超过10万份永久劳工认证。他表示，这些数据代表着数十万份从美国工人手中被夺走的工作岗位。查尔斯国王听取一名男子讲述微软裁员的故事，而前苹果CEO则站在他们身后。
It would also stop processing their pending applications. Sonderling said the action covered some of the biggest IT outsourcing companies in the world. He said the companies had collectively requested almost three million foreign workers since 2009. According to Sonderling, they had received more than 230,000 H-1B visa approvals and more than 100,000 permanent labour certifications. He said the figures represented hundreds of thousands of jobs that had been taken from American workers.

此举对印度人的影响：H-1B计划允许美国公司雇用具备专业技能的外国工人。印度人在H-1B劳动力中占很大比例。印度IT公司——科格尼赞特、印孚瑟斯、塔塔、维普罗和HCL均被暂停资格，因此其员工以及潜在的绿卡申请人也可能面临后果。万斯还宣布将对包括哈佛大学、耶鲁大学和斯坦福大学在内的九所大学展开调查。
Indians make up a large share of the H-1B workforce. Indian IT companies -- Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro and HCL are among the companies suspended, so their employees and prospective green-card applicants could also face consequences. Vance also announced investigations into nine universities, including Harvard, Yale and Stanford.
美国政府正在审查有关某些大学引进国际学生以压低美国工资的指控。劳工监察长安东尼·德埃斯波西托表示，传票已经发出。他说，调查人员将审查外国影响、不当财务关系或签证滥用是否影响了联邦资助的研究。
