I am currently employed by Company A on H1B petition valid until Aug 2017. I recently got an offer from Company B who applied for H1B transfer which is approved and valid until Feb 2018.
Due to personal reasons, I've decided to not join Company B and have conveyed my decision. I have NOT resigned at Company A, in fact Company A is not even aware of my H1B with Company B.
Per my knowledge, I understand H1B with Company A remains valid. Since I have informed Company B that I would not be able to join, Company B will be withdrawing the petition soon.
1. Please confirm if I can continue to work for Company A as the petition is still valid.
2. Do "I" have to inform USCIS that I am still employed at Company A? An attorney online stated "Tell the USCIS that you don't want to work for the new employer and you want to stay with the old employer. Send copies of the two approval notices. Unless you notify them, their records are going to show you as only authorized to work for the new employer. " ....Is this correct?
3. Am I affected by "Last Action" rule, which in this case perhaps indicates that I was supposed to be working for Company B? ..If not how would USCIS know that I am employed with Company A?
Thanks,
