H-1B cap and start date

I was on H-1B for 3 years, then lost my job. H-1B was revoked by employer as they transferred me to H-4. Been on H-4 for 2 months now. I now have an offer of employment. Will the new H-1B be subject to yearly cap? When new H-1B is filed, can I start working on the day the application is received by USCIS or the day the application is approved? Thank you.

right but if they file transfer then one can work with receipt

If the person currently is in H1 status, and a new employer files a new H1 for the person (there really is no such thing as a transfer), then the person can start working for the new employer just with the receipt.

That does not apply to the OP, though, since the OP is in H4. So, the OP has to wait for the H1 approval.
