Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

I am on an extended H1-B valid until 2012. I got married on July 2010 and August 2010, I received the Notice of Action for my EAD, Travel Parole and Change of Status with my husband petitioning for me. Since my husband and I lived in separate states, I decided to join him as soon as I finished my contract with my employer. My questions are: Is it legal for me to leave my employer with a current H1-B but I wont be working for them anymore?, do I need to ask for a job offer just to show I am still employed with them even though they can't provide me with a job at the State I'm moving, Would I get out-of-status if I dont work for them until my EAD is approved?
Help!

Hello:

Assuming your husband is a USC and you have work authorization based upon the marriage petition, you can leave your current employer.
