If change of status was filed before expiry of I-94 of B2, you may be able to do so without leaving the US. The procedure of achieving that objective is very involved and requires in depth review of your current situation. Because, it cannot be fully addressed in this forum, I ask that you consult with an experienced attorney.

Assuming that you are "in valid non-immigrant status" in the U.S. then you should be able to change status to H-2B.
