“The U.S. has blocked H-1B visas and green cards for Indian companies, announced a few days back.” There was a U.S. announcement on October 8, 2026 affecting several major IT/tech employers, including Indian or India-linked firms such as Cognizant, Infosys, Tata/TCS, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini. But the claim is overstated if it says H-1B visas themselves were blocked. The action described in available reports and a press-conference transcript was a suspension from the PERM/Permanent Labor Certification program—an early labor-certification step in many employer-sponsored green-card cases. It does not automatically cancel existing H-1B visas, and it is not a blanket ban on all green cards for Indians or all Indian companies. It may block or pause new and pending PERM labor-certification applications involving the named companies while the suspension is in effect.
