H4 - F1 Visa Conversion

I need to understand the process involved in converting H4 Visa to F1 Visa. I am planning to apply for a 9 month certificate course that requires full time student status. The school will provide all necessary documents [I-20 forms etc.].

How much time does it usually takes once all required documents are in place? Is it legal to start studies after obtaining confirmation receipt from the INS? In case it takes too long, is there any way to expedite the process?

Thanks
