Technically you are out of status as soon as you terminate your employment but you are not unlawfully present if your I-94 is still valid. Once the new petition is filed, as long as you will be able to provide proof of your most recent paycheck stub which is not too remote (2-3 weeks old) it should most likely be all right.
