Wife is on F2 . Currently I am on Stem extension OPT for 17 month. But my F1 visa stamp expired in Passport.

If the consulate agrees, yes she could.

I applied to change status from B2 to F1 but left the US before the USCIS make a decision and before the end of my I-94!

I agree with my colleagues. You need a valid visa.

What is the processing time of the I 90?

You can look it up on USCIS website.
