My H1B transfer to Uber got approved but I do not want to join it anymore and stay with Microsoft.
1. Can I still stay with Microsoft?
2. What would happen to the H1B petition with Uber which got approved?
3. Can Uber sue me because I cost them money here?
Reason for not joining Uber anymore is Im scared of layoff in this visa situation.

2. They can withdraw that H1B, nothing wrong happens to you
3. No they can’t sue you
Reason is valid concern but may be Uber will block you from hiring again, that’s the only thing they can do, rest is fine.
Note: it is not a legal advise, just personal knowledge and opinion.
But related to this thread, no legal problems
Been there done that myself. The worst that will happen is that they will blacklist you. But you also have a valid case, so they may not. They may ask you to return the premium processing fee of 1225$ though. You should probably offer to return that money yourself as form of appeasement.
The way Uber is going, it seems like its blacklisting itself.
1. What is your TC at msft and what uber offered you? Role and yoe as well pls
2. Why you don't want to join? Any specific reasons?
