You need to be in status to change status (to h1b or any other non/green card status). You can’t start working on H1B without being in H1B status. Even aside from the waiver issue.

You cannot work while the waiver is processing.

 

They may be able to do a O1 for you, though, because it does not require a waiver. It requires a lot of paperwork, though, because it's based on exceptional ability.

 

You need to consult with the lawyers. However, I think at this point it's better to leave the US and get your visa stamp at a consulate. All that you are doing in the US is increasing your chance of a ban. 

 

Exactly when was your J1 terminated?
