My department was recently purchased. What do I need to know?

Hopefully, the purchaser had an immigration attorney look at the acquisition. However, often this aspect is overlooked and can sometimes lead to pain. Fortunately, in most cases, your H-1B continues as if nothing had happened.

The main factors that make a difference here are the structure of the deal and your job duties, salary and location. In order to be unproblematic, the purchaser must acquire all assets and liabilities, not just the machinery and building. Of course, your job duties, location and salary also all need to be unchanged. Again, this is a very general statement, only an attorney can evaluate the details.
