Overview

• Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Dick Durbin sent data‑seeking letters to 10 companies, including TCS, Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart and Cognizant.
• Their letter to CEO Krithi Krithivasan says TCS received approval for 5,505 H‑1B hires in fiscal 2025, the second‑largest total, while announcing plans to cut over 12,000 jobs and trimming nearly five dozen roles in Jacksonville last month.
• The senators demand answers to nine questions covering possible displacement of Americans, wage and benefit parity for H‑1B employees, how jobs are advertised, and the use of contractors or third‑party placement.
• The correspondence notes an ongoing EEOC investigation into allegations that TCS favored newly hired South‑Asian H‑1B workers over older American employees.
• Grassley and Durbin say they will reintroduce bipartisan H‑1B/L‑1 reform legislation, following letters sent in late September and recent policy changes that include a $100,000 fee on new H‑1B petitions starting in FY27.
