if I am right, perhaps you can try to transfer to
B2. But as XBT said, it's impossible to get visa if no special reason, but you can use the pending time to find job or transfer to F1. Then withdraw B2 petition.
(in addition, in this forum, some people said it's difficult to get approval by transferring to a language F1)
Anyway, please consult your lawyer.
Good luck to you and your hu*****and.
