Can I change from J2 (which is subject to the 2 year home residency requirement) to F1?
Thank you! Yes. But other types of status (H-1B) no unless you get a waiver.

PDs now take about 2 years (though it may change).
Can do an I-130 then IV consular processing.
I was on H-1B before and had to work harder too. That’s how it is. If you get petitioned for permanent residency it’s worth it.
b. Age at time priority dates became current minus pendency of I-130 petition. Make sure beneficiary sought to acquire immigrant visa within a year.

Depends on the country. But subjectively with US LPR (and eventually citizenship) it opens the doors to less restrictions in some other countries...
Write down the dates. Check your “entry” stamp to the foreign country and then your entry stamp to the US.
Should be within 3 months from NVC filing, unless they issue further requests.
If you get your EAD before expiration then yes.
