United States technology giant IBM has said it will stop sponsoring US foreign worker visas and green cards for most roles in its largest division. A company spokesperson told Reuters on Tuesday that its consultancy unit had opted to end sponsorship for most roles. The company said its participation in US high-skilled visa programmes had been declining for years, adding that the decision came “as skill availability and client needs have evolved”. IBM Consulting employs more than 150,000 of IBM’s 264,300-strong global workforce. IBM has become less reliant on so-called H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers in recent years.
