Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤

Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs

Federal data shows the tech giant filed for over 3,000 foreign worker visas as it cuts thousands of American jobs.

Oracle, the software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two fiscal years, even as it lays off thousands of American workers as part of a broader organizational shift. Federal data shows Oracle filed for 2,690 H-1B visas in fiscal year 2025 and 436 so far in fiscal year 2026, totaling over 3,100 visa requests.



Why it matters

The H-1B visa program allows companies to temporarily employ foreign workers with specialized skills, often in the tech industry. Critics argue the program is used to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor, while supporters say it helps fill crucial talent gaps. Oracle's visa filings amid mass layoffs raise questions about the company's motivations and the broader debate over the H-1B program's impact on the American workforce.
The details

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data, Oracle America Inc. filed for 2,690 H-1B visas for fiscal year 2025 and 436 so far for fiscal year 2026. This comes as Oracle reportedly began laying off thousands of employees this week, with workers receiving letters stating 'today is your last working day.' The company has not provided public comment on the layoffs or the H-1B visa filings.
