You actually were out of status since Dec 30 till this moment and you still are out of status. You are immediately out of status once you are not paid for the job or fired, regardless of the fact if employer revokes H-1 or not.

You can not do H-1 transfer any more. Your next H-1 petition will be a new petition but you will not be subject to H-1 cap as you already have been counted for 6 years.

So I presume it would safe to get a job offer and leave as soon as possible, then wait for the H-1 petition get approved, stamp H-1 visa and get back.
