info

I am assuming you entered US on H4.
If you have a valid H1 approval and you goto consulate for stamping,
they might ask you for paystubs,w2,...etc. Actually if your case is not "change of status from H4 to H1" then you can utilize both H4 and H1.
You can go out and come back on H4 again, do not take risk/trouble of getting H1 stamped. Visa is to enter the country, if you already have a valid visa (H4), then you don't have to goto consulate.
send me a mail to [email protected] for more details.

There is no way you can find out whether the employer informed the INS about the termination of your employment.
