Has anyone have experience of declining an offer after H1B approval is done in the company you were about to join. Please explain how did you deal with the situation?

Certain aspects of my personal situation changed after I accepted the new job, and got the H-1B transfer done. Also, my employer assured me that things that lead to me looking for a job will be fixed (I was only few months into my job then). So I informed the new company that I am declining the offer.
As a goodwill gesture, I offered to pay them the cost of H-1B. My employer reimbursed me for this as a spot bonus, although I had to cover the income tax for it.
The conversation with the employer happened when I announced my intent to quit. In hindsight, I should've talked to them sooner.
