美国已暂停八家公司参与PERM计划,其中包括印度的主要IT公司。由于这些公司的绿卡申请已大幅下降,此举可能对其运营影响有限。
The US has suspended eight firms, including major Indian IT companies, from the PERM programme. The move may have limited operational impact because their green card filings have already dropped sharply.
受美国决定暂停八家公司参与永久劳工认证计划影响的印度IT公司,近年来似乎减少了与绿卡相关的申请,表明此举可能对其运营影响有限。美国此次行动涉及塔塔、Infosys、Wipro和HCL,以及Capgemini、Cognizant、微软和Adobe。
Indian IT companies affected by the US decision to suspend eight firms from the permanent labour certification programme appear to have made fewer green card-related applications in recent years, suggesting the move may have limited impact on their operations. The US action covers Tata, Infosys, Wipro and HCL, along with Capgemini, Cognizant, Microsoft and Adobe.
此次暂停于周四宣布,美国方面称该做法已将美国人排除在就业市场之外。然而,申请数据和行业反应表明,印度科技公司已经减少了通过永久劳工认证(PERM)途径的使用。
The suspension was announced on Thursday, with the US contending that the practice had shut out Americans from the job market. However, application data and industry responses indicate that Indian technology companies have already reduced their use of the Permanent Labour Certification, or PERM, route.

alysis of PERM applications shows that Tata Consultancy Services filed just two applications in the US financial year 2026, down from 513 in 2025 and 1,804 in 2024. HCL filed 59 PERM applications in 2026, compared with 323 in 2025. Wipro filed 257 applications in 2024 and 523 in 2025. Of the 257 applications filed by Wipro in 2024, 169 were denied and 88 were withdrawn by the company. Infosys filed 87 PERM applications in 2024, while data for 2025 and 2026 was not available.
根据PERM Tracker网站的数据,Capgemini在2026年提交了98份PERM申请,而2025年为361份,2024年为300份。Cognizant在2024年提交了1236份PERM申请,而2025年和2026年的数据不可用。
According to the website PERM Tracker, Capgemini made 98 PERM applications in 2026, compared with 361 in 2025 and 300 in 2024. Cognizant filed 1,236 PERM applications in 2024, while data for 2025 and 2026 was not available.
去年,印度IT公司在117,849份PERM认证中占据的份额不足1,400份。不到2%。因此,直接影响可能比初看起来要小,”HCL Technologies前首席执行官维内特·纳亚尔在NASSCOM的一篇帖子中表示,TCS也表示印度公司的PERM申请一直在下降。“过去两年我们的PERM申请仅为个位数,因此我们不预期该项目的暂停会影响我们的劳动力战略和客户业务,”TCS在一份声明中表示。
"Indian IT companies accounted for less than 1,400 of the 117,849 PERM certifications last year. Less than two per cent. The direct impact may therefore be smaller than it first appears," Vineet Nayar, former CEO of HCL Technologies, said in a post on NASSCOM and TCS also said PERM applications by Indian firms had been declining. "Our PERM applications were in single digits in the last two years, and hence we do not expect the suspension of the program to impact our workforce strategy and customer engagements," TCS said in a statement.
NASSCOM表示,多年来印度科技公司已大幅降低对H-1B签证的依赖,同时稳步扩大本地招聘,在美国建立强大的本土劳动力队伍。“因此,通过PERM流程从H-1B签证转为永久居留的员工数量也相对有限,”该行业协会表示。
NASSCOM said Indian technology companies had significantly reduced their dependence on H-1B visas over the years, while steadily expanding local hiring and building a strong domestic workforce in the US. "Consequently, the number of employees transitioning from H-1B visas to permanent residency through the PERM process is also relatively limited," the industry body said.
由劳工部颁发的永久劳工认证允许雇主雇佣外籍工人在美国永久工作。PERM申请被视为持工作签证的专业人士在美国获得绿卡(即永久居留权)的第一步。最新的美国行动正值印度IT公司和业界表示他们对这一途径的使用已经下降之时。
A permanent labour certification issued by the Department of Labour allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. A PERM application is considered the first step for professionals on work visas to obtain a green card, or permanent residency, in the US. The latest US action comes at a time when Indian IT companies and the industry say their use of this route has already fallen.
