The only way to come back would be to get the conviction overturned.  That is very hard to do and takes a lot of time and money.

The maximum period to obtain a response when premium processing is requested is 15 calendar days. If the agency sent in the premium processing fee, you should already have received a decision. If you wish, you can ask your agency to give you a copy of the I-797 receipt which is given by U.S.C.I.S. when a premium processing application has been made. The fee amount should be $1225 on the receipt.

Change of status

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The difficulty with your situation is that you cannot just apply for a change of status without again applying for the H-1B petition as there is no separate form for change of status as there was in earlier days. Perhaps you may be able to premium process your H-1B so the both the petition and change of  status are approved effective October 1st. In such case, you may be able to travel after the approval and before October 1st. Of course, there is the possibility that a CBP inspector may question you on the issue of nonimmigrant intent if he or she discovers that you have applied for and have been approved for H-1B status. As you know, F-1 students are not supposed to have an immigrant intent.
