staying back and H4/dependent visa validity

[kumarjk979]

I am currently on H1B and in US. last month I was offered job in an US based company. I accepted the offer and currently my visa transfer in process. I have a family here so visa/H4 transfer is being done for my dependents as well. Now in case I change my mind and dont join the company of which I accepted the offer then based on some blogs I understand I can still continue to work with my current employer as I have checked offer details and there I can see the clause of at-will termination from both sides however I am in doubt if visa of my dependents will still remain valid as well if I continue to stay in current company after H1/H4 transfer is approved? Please advise.

As long as their current I94 is valid they are fine.

All employment in the US is at will. It is always the case that both the employee and the employer can terminate an employer-employee relationship at any time.

Such a clause is or should be in every employment contract. And even if not, it still exists.

So, if that's your only issue with the employment contract, you may not want to work in the US at all, because all employment here has that issue...
