"Your legal status in the country does not depend on your continued employment. If it does, stay away from this train of thought. The destination is a depressing and harsh realization."

Its sad - but most of us are out at this point..nothing more to add.

Most? No. There's a lot of workers in our field that are here as non-natives but they are not the majority group. The majority group are fully fledged citizens who do not have this issue to deal with.

Most of us? I suspect that most of us do have the legal status to remain in our country of residence, even without continued employment. While there are a significant number of expats on HN, I'm pretty sure they are not the majority...

Yep, definitely stayed in a job longer than I wanted to because of VISA issues. No happy thoughts there.
