IBM announced it is ending US visa and green card sponsorship for most roles in IBM Consulting, its largest division with over 150,000 employees. The decision comes as the Trump administration tightens restrictions on skilled-worker immigration. Affected employees can either continue working for IBM from outside the US or leave by the end of the year. IBM's participation in high-skilled visa programs has been declining for years, and the company cited evolving skill availability and client needs as reasons for the change.
