If you are now getting a F1 visa, have you tried contacting your school? Their int. office should help

You cannot get an F1 earlier than 30 days before starting classes. When do classes start? 

 

I think you are making a huge gamble here. You had a J1, now you have a B2, and you want an F1. You seem to basically want to stay in the US doing nothing for a year since classes start in September again. That is a big no-no and it can hinder your chances at getting the F1.

 

Taking into consideration that changing to an F1 in the US can take up to 6 months and a lot of people on VJ have been unsuccessful. Your case will raise a lot of red flags too because of all your changes of status.

 

You should go home and apply for an F1 there.

 

I think the letter is because you want to change from J1 to F1 but now you cannot do that because the J1 expired. They are considering your case as an "inquiry", maybe it got put together with your previous request to change from J1 to B2.

They will not accept your application. I have already told you why. Classes have already started. It can take them up to 6 months to reply. You have already overstayed your current visa and should not be in the US.

At this point do whatever you want. You are basically saying you are trying to change to other visas only to be able to stay in the US, not because you actually want that visa. That is WRONG. 

 

You are just wasting everyone's time on the board.

You just said you want to stay because of your wife. That is not a reason to get an F1 visa and it is not a reason for ask for adjustment of status within the US.
