There is not way to answer your question with the information that you have provided. You need to see an experienced immigration attorney and take him or her your complete criminal record in order for your case to be evaluated.

If you have already been counted against the H-1B cap, you can port to another employer as soon as the new I-129 petition has been properly filed and received by USCIS.
