This move comes as the Trump administration intensifies its examination of employment-based immigration programs, impacting many in the technology sector, according to officials.\n\nThe freeze on Green Card filings for Cognizant staff is part of a broader effort by the US administration to scrutinize employment-based immigration more closely. This policy shift aims to review and possibly restrict the flow of foreign workers entering the US under such programs. Experts note that this development could affect the hiring and retention of skilled professionals in the technology industry.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nRisk of EB-1 Green Card Process Halting for Indians in America\nApple's Foldable Phone to Challenge Samsung's Lead\nIndia-Russia ties poised for new phase of trade and industrial cooperation\nUS Suspends Cognizant and Cloudera Green Card Filings",
