What if I do not want to use my H1B?

[leo_mits_in]

I had applied for an H1B and got it stamped as well. But I have not been able to leave my present organization so far, due also to the fact that I have heard a lot about H1B holders getting very bad treatment in USA by their employers.

I am seriously thinking about not going to USA at all despite having got my visa stamped. However, my prospective employer has threatened that they will treat me as an absconder and inform the immigration department in the USA about it. They say that in such a case, it will be very difficult for me to get a visa even through any other employer in future.

I want advice on if I should directly communicate with the US consulate or other official agencies (which?) to tell them I have no plans of absconding and I have no plans of going to USA to take up employment with the said employer either - that my plans have got changed (regarding employment in the US with my current H1B sponsor) and that I wish my H1B stamping to be declared null and void without any prejudice to any future attempts for employment in the US.

I seek opinion on what harm may fall upon me if I choose not to go to the US and my prospective employer chooses to report to the immigration department.

Thank you very much.

For one, this does not seem like a good prospective employer, if you are already being threatened this much before you have even started working with them, this I guess is a taste of what lies ahead for you with this employer.

I want advice on if I should directly communicate with the US consulate or other official agencies (which?) to tell them I have no plans of absconding and I have no plans of going to USA to take up employment with the said employer either
------------- they are not intrested in you or your employer. If you dont want to go to US on H1 employer cant do anything and consulate has nothing to do with that

- that my plans have got changed (regarding employment in the US with my current H1B sponsor) and that I wish my H1B stamping to be declared null and void without any prejudice to any future attempts for employment in the US.
------------not needed

[update] I also want to know if any future attempts by me to secure a work-visa etc. to the US be jeopardized by this revocation of my H1B petition [if I do not go to the USA at all, they (my H1B sponsor) will have to revoke it sooner or later, won't they? - from a practical standpoint] ?

--------- Just he was trying to scare you they dont have to do anything.

Post the Desi company name or employer name and city so that other don’t deal with him in future.
