> Sun Microsystems, it seemed like a solid company that would be around forever. Sold in 2010 I don't understand, what's the issue when the company gets sold? What bearing does that have on your visa apart from the change of employer filing?
If Oracle bought Sun (two legitimate companies), it would be a change of employer which is a straightforward process, or am I missing something? |

You were making the point of choosing a legitimate company vs a shady company, as a way to mitigate risk. Which is a good idea. But it's also worth noting that -- especially in the tech industry -- a good company one day can be bought by a shady company the next. (Although I'm not saying Oracle is shady, I didn't stick around long enough to find out.)
Also, if a company doesn't purchase all assets and liabilities (happened to one company I know of last month), and instead acquires pieces, then it may not be a straightforward change of employer.
