Trump administration bars Microsoft from sponsoring workers for US residency

Original: Microsoft barred from sponsoring foreign workers for US residency

The Trump administration has barred Microsoft from sponsoring foreign workers for US permanent residency, in what Ars Technica describes as a new immigration crackdown targeting the tech giant. The move would prevent one of America's largest H-1B employers from putting foreign staff on a path to a green card, and it is drawing attention amid broader tightening of skilled-worker immigration policy.

Why now: A major US employer being singled out in an immigration crackdown directly affects thousands of foreign tech workers and industry hiring.
