H-1B Visa 2026: Amazon, Google, Meta slash filings as hiring slows amid Trump crackdown, says Report

Layoffs and shrinking teams at giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft are adding to the slowdown, cutting the demand for foreign talent even further.
Federal data shows a clear drop in visa filings as layoffs mount and new rules take effect.
