J1 never activated - Am I subject to 2 year residency?

My J1 was not activated / never enrolled in the program and I received an advisory opinion that I am subject to 2 year stay in my home country. Can I reply back and ask them to remove the condition as my J1 was never activated. Thanks.
 
If you were never in J status (i.e. never entered the US with a J visa, and never did Change of Status into J status), you are not subject to the 2-year home residency requirement.
