A mergers and acquisition may affect an RIR depending on whether the newly formed
U.S. Company is acquiring the interests of the original company that filed the
RIR.
The RIR may continue and
is valid, provided the Company is the successor in interests of the original company
that filed theRIR. If the merged company took all the benefits (assets, account
receivables, intellectual properties, contracts rights and etc.) and liabilities
(debts, contract obligations, account payables and etc.) in the merger or buyout,
the merged Company is the successor in interests of the original company and the
new Company may continue the RIR process for the alien.
