Form I-539, form G 1145 

You did not file for a B2 visa.  You filed to change your non-immigrant status while in the US to remain in the US.  There is no B-2 visa to place in your passport because you never filed for or received a B-2 visa. 

If you want a B-2 visa, then you will have to file a DS-160 and go for an interview at a US Embassy/Consulate.

Okay, so when they sent me approval letter , Class - B2 is nothing for me. So I can apply normally just for esta visa ?

You requested a change of status from J1 to B2, that's what you got approved for.  You did not get approved for a B-2 visa.  You got approved for extending your stay in the US and change from J1 status to B-2 status (which is not a visa).

Apply for ESTA if you qualify.

You may have applied for 6 months, but what were you actually granted? They don’t automatically just give you what you ask for. From your first post it sounded like you were only approved for one day, which means you overstayed the rest of it.

admittedly i found the first post quite confusing and may have misunderstood

I don't know if you qualify for ESTA or not.  You have to figure out if you qualify based on your circumstances which I do not know.  That's why when you asked if you can apply for ESTA, my answer was you can if you qualify to use it.  Not everyone from a VWP country is qualified for it.  It's individual circumstances.

How long were you granted though? You mention one day?

 

And who at the embassy made a mistake? Your first post is very confusing.

your first post is very confusing

a timeline would help a bit, I think!

 

When did your J1 expire?

when did you apply for the status change?

when did you leave the US?

And when did you recieve the approval letter

 

From what I understand is that you did get approved but you left one day before you got the approval?!

 

Anyways, I guess it doesn‘t matter you‘re back in europe and wanna travel to the US.. so you either apply for esta(if you qualify) or you apply for a tourist visa.

Neither of them is granted for sure!

and with you habing stayed in the US for quite a while lately, it mighg be denied!

I thought that visa B2 are for 10 years . 

For the record, there is no determined validity for a tourist visa, it's at the CO's discretion to grant it for 3 months, 1 year,  10 years max. But there is no minimum. My first visitor visa was for 1 year.

Sorry for the confusing ... that’s why I’m trying help here. My J1 visa finished May 15 th 2017 I applied for B2 visa on April for six moths till November 15th and I left USA November 13th so I was in my country November 14th. And the letter came November 22 but they made mistake and they put wrong date - valid 11/22/2017 till 11/23/2017 😓
