IBM is ending US visa and green card sponsorship for most roles in IBM Consulting, its largest division with over 150,000 employees. Affected visa holders can work for IBM outside the US or leave by year-end, Bloomberg reported. The move follows the Trump administration’s H-1B visa crackdown, which includes a $100,000 fee and last month’s suspension of Microsoft, Infosys and TCS from the PERM green card process.
