Can the employer Cancel/withdraw the H1B after it is approved

hi

Can the employer Cancel/withdraw the H1B after it is approved. Can they send cancellation request or make it inactive ?

is the petition in employers hands?

If your petition is approved and visa is stamped, they cannot cancel or withdraw. They can cancel your petition alone but they have to spend on it close to 1000$ which normally no employer will be interested. Visa cannot be cancelled. Hope you know the difference between a petion and a visa.

If your old employer cancells your petition and if you hold the H1B stamping on you passport you can enter US for a new employer with the approval notice of your new employer.
