Yes, my petition was approved starting October. But I'm finishing up my F-1 this semester, and will be starting the job in Jan.

It depends on how the H-1B petition was filed. I suspect that it was filed not with a request for change of status but with a request for consular notification which means that after you get the waiver you will need to leave the US and apply for an H-1B visa at a US Consulate abroad.

Thank you so much! Yes, it is consular notification. Will try to get an appointment asap then.
