Adobe Suspended From US Green Card Sponsorship Programme
ADBE sits 27% above its 52-week low of $190.12.
Summary
The US Labour Department suspended Adobe from the PERM programme, which allows companies to sponsor employees for permanent residency. The suspension stems from federal investigations into alleged misuse of the system. This directly affects Adobe's ability to sponsor foreign workers for green cards, potentially causing talent retention issues as employees awaiting permanent residency may seek employers who can still sponsor them. The move is part of a broader crackdown that also hit Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Microsoft. Adobe has not yet commented publicly on the suspension. The impact on Adobe's workforce strategy is unclear, but the loss of PERM sponsorship could make it harder to retain skilled foreign talent in the US. TV Mohandas Pai said the suspension has no immediate impact and is futuristic in nature.
