Federal scrutiny of employment-based immigration has reached some of the largest technology employers in the country. The Labor Department is suspending PERM processing for Wipro, Microsoft, Capgemini, TCS, Cognizant, Adobe, HCL and Infosys, citing alleged program abuses and investigations.

@1cs no. we are generally not making new hires now, even back fills. If we do make hires, it is AI, Data Science, hard to find expertise. These are going to contractors before more hiring though.
@14m labor check, so not a real listing. process starts over if an actual candidate is discovered
@bf "Demonostrate experience" means the position is for internal fill or for H1b visa?
@hn wrong, both are fidelity you need to look across all of our "companies"
@pp checkout this post https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1ks90dvey
@bf explains why i never get response to any of these job i apply
@g1
I was going to say the same.
Gotta be way more
Fidelity has stopped hiring new visa employees and even transfers. The numbers you see online are for existing employees extensions ( They are considered as new applications every time) . People often gets confused with that number and easy to get pumped up in this environment.
Even Microsoft clarified that out of 6000 visas, 400 were for existing employees extensions and not new hires.
@hc wrong....you need to use Fidelity Technology Group.

@g1 Fidelity doesn't sponsor them. Body shops do. They are under the body shop.
I wouldn't be surprised if most visa workers hired by Fidelity come from contractors.
There must be more than 487 in Durham.
My area has that many all by itself.
How does Fidelity have so many Indians, but keep the 'official' numbers so low?
Someone needs to tip the feds to investigate Fidelity. They've been gaming the system since... Forever.
@d7 this is the way. They only hire them because they get a discount. Your equal opportunity argument is nonsense.

Trump and republicans are going to make it where no one will hire Visa holders anymore. Just not worth it.
@c5 tech had many more hires in 2025 https://h1bhq.com/search?employerQuery=Fidelity+Technology+Group&fiscalYear=2025&pageSize=25
who got the max salary of $176,571. Thought they were supposed to be cheaper.
In 2025 we hired 15 with H1Bs

If you change the year to 2026, you'll see that we have 0 for 2026.
Fidelity won't be able to hide the "demonstrated experience" loophole for long to get PERM approved for a green card.
Election stunt to please his base
Fidelity is also no longer sponsoring or hiring those in need of sponsorship. Those that are actively employed are “safe” until the next RIF. There have been too many leaks
and?
