A company uses the visa program typically under the reasoning "we need this kind of worker so bad that we can't hire locally". So, if they are rescinding an offer, it's hard to support the original premise.

Also, "extra shitty" seems obvious to me. You're not only not hired, you likely have to leave the country. The company rescinding the offer knows this.

Hum, no, the reasoning is "there are no suitable workers locally", which is very similar but still different.

The fact that you rescinded an offer doesn't mean that suddenly local people are suitable, it just means this position isn't needed anymore.

That's how it's written on paper, yes. The actual experience varies. "This route is cheaper" is common.
