IBM will end US visa sponsorship in its biggest division.

IBM says it will discontinue US visa and green-card sponsorship in its largest division. The announcement is about that division, not all of IBM. Semafor reports IBM’s announcement as ending sponsorship there; Al Jazeera describes the change as ending most of the division’s US sponsorships for foreign workers. Al Jazeera says the announcement follows the Trump administration’s crackdown on visa programs for skilled foreign workers. For people hoping to join that division from abroad, one company-sponsored route is getting narrower.
