BK01, don't listen to these newbies and uscis officer can only tell what comes after letter A as what is on the paper books but the real person who can manipulate the system is the LAWYERS period hence adjustment is possible GET IT ? . When lawyers signals they can do it (free consultation from lawyers says it) just breath fresh air and don;t listen to these newbies. I highly recommend to hire good lawyer if you are illegal after F1 because there may be big issue if you are travelling though i hope you get the point
