I had visa till July 28th, I already renew my visa and got I-797 till 2025.

Now the real problem, in case, I go to India, and we don't get the appointment date for the drop box. If we come back on our tourist visa (B1/B2, which is valid till 2024), then, Can I legally work as I have valid I-797 till 2025 ?
