Unfortunately as you know by now, U.S.C.I.S. does not expedite an application just because your semester starts next month in fall 2015. You can stay in the country until you obtain an adjudication from the agency. You can also go to school as long as the school is willing to allow you to attend. Renewing the driver’s license depends upon the rules of the particular state. It is usually not a good idea to travel to 3rd country consulates to obtain an initial F-1 visa. The chances of rejection are high.
