Oracle files for thousands of H-1B visas amid mass layoffs: 'Today is your last working day'
Federal data shows thousands of petitions filed for the current and last fiscal year.
Oracle employees have been laid off as part of a "broader organizational change," with data revealing that the company has looked to hire thousands of foreign workers.
The software company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, is going through a huge transition as it prepares to back its infrastructural push toward artificial intelligence — reportedly at the cost of thousands of jobs.
'We are grateful for your dedication.'
Oracle cut thousands of jobs this week, a number that has not been narrowed since CNBCconfirmed with insiders on Tuesday. The company may have already been looking ahead, however, as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data shows that Oracle has already filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two years.
According to immigration services, the H-1B program allows employers to "temporarily employ foreign workers" for specialized skills. The federal data hub shows that Oracle America Inc. filed for 2,690 visas for fiscal year 2025, which covers Oct. 1, 2024 to Sep. 30, 2025.
