H-1B, Green Card update: IBM ends visa sponsorship for most roles in its biggest division; affected worke

IBM is ending US visa and Green Card sponsorship for most roles in IBM Consulting, its largest division with more than 150,000 employees, according to Bloomberg. Affected workers can continue employment outside the US or leave by year-end. IBM says participation in US high-skilled visa programmes had declined for several years, and the move follows Trump administration pressure on H-1B and PERM green card sponsorship.
