The U.S. Department of Labour has suspended Cognizant Technology Solutions' filings under the PERM programme, a critical step for employment-based green cards, pending a fraud investigation.
Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito confirmed the suspension on X, though the department has not disclosed the specific number of affected filings or the duration of the hold.
The action follows Cognizant's September 7 announcement of plans to hire 1,500 U.S. college graduates and expand its Frontier workforce to 15,000 employees.
