US Targets Microsoft's Foreign Worker Program, Raising Questions for Israeli Tech Professionals U.S. Vice President JD Vance has reportedly announced restrictions on Microsoft's use of the PERM employment-based green card process, urging the company to prioritize American workers. The move could have implications for Israeli technology professionals seeking permanent employment in the United States, particularly those pursuing employer-sponsored green cards. Microsoft maintains a major presence in Israel, making changes to U.S. immigration and hiring policies relevant to Israeli workers and the country's technology sector. The reported measure does not mean Israeli employees or Microsoft's operations in Israel are directly affected
