>>> Should not have any issues since you are no longer with that employer. However, if you were not paid according to your LCA while you were with your previous employer or if you were out of status, then it can have impact.

>>> It is nice to carry them. But most employers will be very hesitant to hand them over to their employees. In most cases, the VO will not ask for these documents if you are working for good reputed company. If needed, they will issues a 221g slip and the employer can directly send these documents to the consulate.

4. If at all can you let me know the wait time for all the consulate?
>>> That you will have to look at each consulate's appointment wait time.
