I was in H1B status and then changed to H-4. I now wish to move back to H1B status. Once the change of status petition is filed, can I start working based on the receipt notice?

Answer

No. Ordinarily an H-4 dependent may not start working based on a pending H1B petition requesting a change of status. (28.Sep.2023)
