F1 Reinstatement possible?

I started working on H1B in Oct 2020, which has been revoked due to petition filing mistakes by my company (not gross mistakes). I haven't received the hard copy of the notice yet but my application status changed to "Revocation Notice Was Sent", today. Before that, I was working on F1 STEM OPT which was valid till Feb 2022. This F1 status got changed to H1B on Oct 01, 2020. Is it possible to get my F1 reinstated so that I can at least complete my F1 STEM OPT period? Can I stay in the US during my reinstatement application is decided? How much time does it generally take for this approval?
