Backing out of h1b visa

I am working for company A and company B has filed h1b visa transfer for me which has been approved. Now I\'ve decided not to join company B. If company B revokes the petition they filed for me, will there be any immigration implication for me? Thanks.
 
Company B did revoke its petition for me

Without notifying me ( I am glad I didn\'t join them!). Obviously they thought that would hurt me ( would it?). My question is that would my current employer be able to know that I had this thing with company B?
 
No problem as long as you have properly maintained your status with Company A

No It won\'t

INS cannot keep calling everybody whether somebody joined them or not.. But it will ask you the question when you cross a Port of Entry. So next time you come back from your vacation be ready to prove that you are still employed with company A.
 
What was the INS inquiry looking like?

Did it say something like " Mr.H\'s petition with company B was revoked and we want to make sure he is still employed by you" or did it just ask general question like "we want to know whether Mr. H is still employed by you"?

In the case that I was thinking of, we received a letter of intent to revoke the visa because INS had been informed that the person no longer worked for us. I sent in the person\'s paystubs with a letter stating that the person was still employed. I have no idea where INS got this information.

Jim, thank you very much. One more question

Not that I will do anything about it, but is it legal for company B to withdraw their offer because I couldn\'t start immediately for health reasons?
