I was on H1B and then changed my status to F-1. I now would like to go back to H1B. Can I start working immediately upon getting the receipt number from the USCIS?

Because this petition is requesting a change of status, and not simply a change of employer while already in H1B status, it is necessary to wait for the H1B petition approval before starting employment again. (27.Aug.2025)
