Er and name a place where this doesn't happen on a daily basis - oh er let me think - anywhere in the UAE! Yeah but every one picks on New York.

Logically if the visa expires by virtue of time (having lived elwhere more than 6 months) then it would get automatically cancelled. Unfortunately logic has yet to arrive in the UAE so you would have to cancel the old visa before getting a new one by a new employer.
