CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: According to available data, a total of 117,849 PERM applications were filed with the U.S. Department of Labor between October 2024 and September 2025, while the number of applications linked to Indian IT companies was fewer than 1,400. This means these companies accounted for less than 2 percent of the total applications. The figures indicate that the decision may have a limited impact on the overall U.S. green card system, but the difficulties could be serious for some employees of the affected companies.
What happens next? There is still no complete clarity on the duration of the suspension or its impact on applications that have already been approved. Affected employees should therefore seek advice from their company’s immigration department and a qualified U.S. immigration lawyer based on their individual situation.
Conclusion: This decision by the Trump administration is not a complete ban on green cards for all Indians working in the United States. Its direct impact is on the employment-based PERM process of the eight named companies. If the suspension continues for a long period, it could affect the permanent residency plans of employees waiting for green cards and their long-term work strategy in the United States.
