What is his status after he quits his job on an H-1 visa status? Does he have to leave the country immediately or does he have time to find another sponsoring employer for another H-1 visa?

I am a US Customs and Border Protection Officer and I can answer that question. First of all, if an H-1 quits his job, he is an idiot. But that is beside the point. If that person quits, they are required to leave the US. They cannot tried to find another sponsor while in the US. They must return from whence they came. Once they are back home, then they can try to find another job, but they must wait for a new sponsor to go through all the paperwork and then they must wait for a brand new H-1 visa before they can re-apply for entry to the US.

You need to maintain the employer/employee relationship intact in order for your H-1 B visa to remain in status. You may work full/part time, on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, or on strike w/o affecting your status.
You may change H-1 B employers but the new company must file Form I-129 petition and approved in your behalf before you start working for them.
