Labor Department suspends green card filings at Microsoft, Adobe and six IT firms
The administration says the Labor Department won't accept new or pending PERM applications from these employers while it looks into alleged fraud and harm to US workers. No end date has been given. News reports say existing H-1B visas and green cards aren't affected.

New H-1Bs are first-time petitions with this employer, often after the lottery. Transfers are people already on an H-1B who joined from another employer. Counts are workers USCIS approved on its first decision, and the approval rate compares them with workers it denied that year. Later appeals aren't counted.
