---- Yes, it is possible to revoke the petition, but under many conditions s the employer will be subject to scrutiny. Alternately, you can seek employment with another suitable consultant as the present one is threatening. Do not fall to these threats. They are just a hoax. If you are really interested in joining them let them know your terms and conditions. Nothing will happen to you or the H1 and the worst thing can be to transfer to another consultant

Dear Subramanya
I do have a very similar situation. Thanks for your response on this.

Regarding transfer of H1B (as indicated above in worst scene), is it possible to do so even before joining the new employer that applied for H1B? Mine went for COS even without taking my consent and is now threatening action from USCIS if I dont join him by Oct 1.
